How can you help in your parish?
Liturgical Ministry
Whether you enjoy speaking in front of people or like to be behind the sense with no attention directed on you, there is a ministry for all comfort levels. With each ministry there is training to help you feel comfortable with what you choose to do. Each one of our four parishes have a committee that will support you in your ministry.

Extraordinary Ministers distribute Communion during Mass, but
they also may take Communion to those who are not able to be at Mass (the sick or homebound).
Sacristans
