There are different gifts but the same Spirit; there are different ministries but the same Lord; there are different works but the same God who accomplishes all of them in everyone. To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7
Whenever our community gathers, we become a visible sign of the Body of Christ. Many important liturgical functions are assigned to the laity, who are drawn from the community, trained by the parish, and lead with sincere devotion and dignity.
