A church is only as alive as its members are active in it. If you've been looking for a way to contribute your time, talents, or treasures to the parish, consider participating in the below ministries. Training is provided for all of these ministries, so don't let inexperience detract you from sharing your gifts for the glory of God!
St. Augustine once said, "When you sing you are praying twice." There are roles for choir members, musicians, and cantors. If you can sight-read music and play an instrument and/or sing, share your musical charism as a way of giving thanks. The choir typically sings at the Sunday 10:30 Mass with a rehearsal at 9:30 am. We are always looking for more choir members for the Saturday 4:30 Mass.
Do you have a great speaking voice and a love for the Word of God? Being a lector is a wonderful way to share your gift and add to the beauty of the Sacred Liturgy. Confirmed members are needed to proclaim the Word at daily and weekend Masses.
Altar Servers represent the Holy Angels assisting at the altar. As a server, you get to participate in the beauty of the Mass liturgy by assisting the celebrant. (Open to 4th grade and older.)
Extraordinary Ministers (EMs) of Holy Communion are the lay people who assist the celebrant in distributing the Body of Christ (the Host) during Holy Communion.
Ushers - men or women - are needed at weekend Masses. Duties include not only collections but welcoming both visitors and parishioners to our church.
If you are interested in any of the above ministries, or have any questions, please contact the Liturgical Director.
