Art and Environment is the ministry dedicated to the preparation of the Church for the celebrations of the Sacraments, especially Eucharist; the Solemnities (solemn events recalling the mysteries of redemption); and the seasons of the Liturgical Year; namely, Advent/Christmas/Epiphany, Ordinary Time, Lent/Holy Week/Triduum/Easter/Ascension/Pentecost. An atmosphere of “noble simplicity” is the vision and theory.  Now actually we change altar cloths, shop and make flower arrangements and take care of plants and flowers, make and iron hangings and coverings, vacuum, shop and prepare symbols, make and hang decorations, make bows, and sew hems and banners for all the seasons and celebrations.
