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.
Confession
THE SACRAMENT OF HEALING
Here at Risen Savior we live in the awareness that the Church is not a hotel for saints, but rather a hospital for sinners. Regardless of what you’ve done (or failed to do) recently, God is here for you. And he’s not leaving.
Confession is held next to the Chapel entrance
SATURDAYS: 3:30 – 4:00 PM
RETURNING
TO GRACE
PREPARATION HELP
It’s been a while since my last confession. What if I don’t know where to go or what to do?
Don’t worry. Let the priest know if you haven’t been to Confession in a while or don’t remember what to say, and he’ll help guide you through the process. Reviewing the standard format and an Examination of Conscience is also helpful.
If you, or someone you know, would like to make First Reconciliation, please visit the RCIA page. If you would like to learn more about the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we recommend watching the full episode of Forgiven on FORMED.
Confession is an act of honesty and courage – an act of entrusting ourselves, beyond sin, to the mercy of a loving and forgiving God.”
— SAINT JOHN PAUL II
Eucharistic Adoration
If you’ve never prayed in front of the Blessed Sacrament, we invite you to experience this beautiful tradition. Feel free to bring your Bible, devotional, rosary, or prayer journal. Or, just come as you are, and spend some quiet time with God.
Held in the Chapel.
1st Friday Of Each Month, For One Hour, Following The 9:00 A.M. Liturgy
The Chapel is also open daily during our normal building and office hours for quiet prayer. If you would you like to commit to a regular hour each week praying before the Blessed Sacrament, we invite you to do so. Office hours are listed at the bottom of the website.
“Our Lord hears our prayers anywhere, but He has revealed to His servants that those who visit Him in the Eucharist will obtain a more abundant measure of grace.”
— ST. ALPHONSUS LIGOURI
