Arts & Environment Committee
Our mission is to enhance the celebration of the Eucharist through
thoughtful planning and execution of decorating the Church and Gathering
Space to reflect the liturgical seasons. We seek members at all levels
of expertise and talent willing to give of their time to enhance our
beautiful worship space.
While the bulk of our work comes during holiday seasons, during which we
are all busy with our personal lives, it is even more important that we
have helping hands during those times in order to lighten the load for
everyone. Men and women of the parish, won’t you please join us? For
questions or more information,

Christmas Giving Tree
St Brendan parishioners donate gifts for local families and social service agencies. Volunteers sort and prepare the gifts for distribution to families. This project covers just a few weeks and requires very little time, but we do need volunteers to assist with the tree preparation and the gift sorting.
