Roles of the Liturgy Coordinator:
1) Prepare for any COSDU Mass;
2) Assist in the committee in providing a family away from home for all COSDUans.
That is all. So if you want an easy role, this has to be the one!
Being a Catholic all my life, you would think that it wouldn’t be too hard to prepare for something which is an integral part of our faith, and in reality, it isn’t hard, as long as you plan for it. Invite the priests before the semester begins, then all you’ll have to do is plan the readings and prayers for the Mass, send these off to the priest and Music Coordinator early so they can prepare for the Mass, as well as finding readers, servers, Eucharistic ministers and people to help with the collection and offertory. And after all that, put together a powerpoint or Mass booklet. Doesn’t sound too hard does it? Unexpected things do happen, but as long as you plan for it early, everything will be fine!
As for being part of a committee? It’s definitely an incredibly worthwhile experience, especially being part of a committee where everyone does their job, and everyone offers to help if any is needed. Perhaps the most important skill of being in the committee is your ability to promptly reply to emails. :) And don’t worry about not having enough time, because if you’ve planned for the semester during the holidays, time is not a problem.
Most importantly, don’t hesitate in this opportunity to serve God, and if you think you’re not good enough for the position, don’t worry, because at the end of the day, no matter how experienced you are, there will still be new things to learn!
All the best for the new Liturgy Coordinator and committee!!!
