Serve At Liturgies

Eucharistic Ministers
Trained and commissioned to assist the priest in distributing the Eucharist at Mass.

Lectors
Lectors proclaim the Word of God clearly and understandably so that all who hear may respond. Open to youth and adults who are practicing Catholics who love God’s Sacred Word and are comfortable speaking in public.

Ushers
Being a welcoming community is very important to us. Ushers are the first face of the parish. They warmly greet those coming into our church, offer assistance to those in need, distribute parish bulletins, take up the collection, assist with the flow of communion and distribute other materials as needed. Open to any adult or youth, ages 14 and up.

Audio & Visual
The A/V Ministry assists by running the soundboard and screens during Mass and special liturgies. Training provided.

Music Ministry
Musicians provide music during Sunday Masses, holy days, weddings, funerals and additional liturgies

Sacristans
Sacristans make the necessary preparations for liturgical activities and assist other liturgical ministries at the Mass. Their responsibilities include preparing the altar, bread and wine, linens, vessels, liturgical books, etc. before each Mass. This ministry is open to commissioned Eucharistic Ministers.
