In order to foster prayer and our connection to God, Christ gave us the sacraments and other communal prayer. See the subsections for the various types of Ministries to get involved in, as well as, information for receiving the sacraments.
The Catholic Catechism recognizes the liturgy is the source of life and the heart of prayer
"As the work of Christ liturgy is also an action of his Church. It makes the Church present and manifests her as the visible sign of the communion in Christ between God and men. It engages the faithful in the new life of the community and involves the "conscious, active, and fruitful participation" of everyone. (CCC 1071)
"The sacred liturgy does not exhaust the entire activity of the Church" it must be preceded by evangelization, faith, and conversion. It can then produce its fruits in the lives of the faithful: new life in the Spirit, involvement in the mission of the Church, and service to her unity." (CCC 1072)
Prayer and liturgy
"In the liturgy, all Christian prayer finds its source and goal. Through the liturgy the inner man is rooted and grounded in "the great love with which [the Father] loved us" in his beloved Son. It is the same "marvelous work of God" that is lived and internalized by all prayer, "at all times in the Spirit." (CCC 1073)
