Liturgical Arts and Environment Liturgical Arts and Environment is a sub-committee of CCOP's Liturgy Planning Committee whose purpose is to enhance our worship spaces. This group of very dedicated volunteers visualize, create, and implement the environmental decor so that it reflects the ever changing liturgical seasons and, as such, enhances our prayer experience. This ministry is available for all Parishioners, regardless of artistic "ability" since everyone has something that they can contribute! The responsibilities of this sub-committee include: Art design, bulletin board decoration, candle care, floral design/maintenance and banner creation and maintenance. Additionally, we're always looking for people who are skilled at ironing and sewing. The Liturgical Arts and Environment sub-committee meets at 7:30 pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month in Room C at St. Elizabeth Seton Church. Come! Help us make the Catholic Community of Pleasanton a beautiful place to worship. Contact: Deacon Gary Wortham, (925) 474-2785, or email at liturgy@catholicsofpleasanton.org

Child Care -- General In addition to the Sunday morning co-op, childcare is offered during sessions and activities for the following ministries: children's sacraments, CIC, faith formation, adult faith formation (RCIA, Returning Catholics, Family Evangelization), and other ongoing programs (infant baptisms, small communities, parish mission, etc.). One person coordinates each of these six areas. A team leader heads the team of six coordinators. Contact: Rectory, 846-4489 Child
Care -- CO-OP Sunday Nursery But we need parents who are interested in this program and a couple of people who would be willing to coordinate it. In the past, parents only had to take their turn in the nursery about once every two months. I would like to have things that way again, but it will depend on your stepping forward to see if we have enough people to restart this ministry. If you are interested, please call the parish office: (925) 846-4489
Children's Envelopes Special offering and stewardship envelopes are available in the vestibule of the Church or at the Rectory for young people aged kindergarten through high school. Requests for information about service to others, growth in faith, etc., can be indicated on the envelope front. It is intended that any monetary offering should come from the young parishioner's own income, rather than directly from their parents. Contact either parish office for more information, (925) 846-4478 or (925) 484-5020.

Liturgy Planning Committee CCOP's Liturgy Planning Committee’s mission is to enhance the spiritual life of our parish through preparation and coordination of its liturgical celebrations (e.g., Sunday liturgies, Sacred Triduum, Holy Days of Obligation, devotions, blessings, Communion Services, etc.). This Committee of Parish volunteers maintains a current understanding of the Church's liturgical documents and instructions from the U. S. Bishops through self-guided study, group study, workshops and liturgical conferences. We regularly make presentations to the Parish at large on the meaning of the Church’s worship and how ritual is celebrated in our community. The Committee coordinates or provides liturgical guidance and support to the Liturgical Arts and Environment sub-committee, and the Youth and Family Liturgy sub-committee. Additionally, the Committee recruits, trains, and schedules liturgical ministers (i.e., Lectors, Head Eucharistic Ministers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Ushers, Greeters, and Altar Servers). The Liturgy Planning Committee meets at 7:30 pm on the second and fourth Mondays of each month in Room C at St. Elizabeth Seton Church. A member of the Liturgy Planning Committee sits on the Parish Council each year. This year Deacon Gary Wortham will represent the committee. A member of the committee is assigned to each Mass on weekends. A 2008-2009 Liturgy Coordinator outline is available in PDF format. The Liturgy Coordinators for each Mass are presented below:
