Liturgical Environment for Advent and Christmas for Directors of Liturgy, Art & Environment Ministers, General Interest

Maggie Klingele has been a member of Sts. Peter and Paul Parish, Winter Park, FL since the spring of 2002 when the third church building was under construction. She joined other volunteers and put together new pre-lit trees for the first Christmas in the new church and since those lights functioned, she was considered ‘skilled’ and recruited. Over the last 23 years, across the vast spectrum of the Liturgical Arts and Environment Ministry, she learned what was needed, what needed improvement, and how to get those needs met. She also survived a church remodeling in 2024 and countless lessons on what to NOT do.
