How can you help in your parish?
Liturgical Ministry
Whether you enjoy speaking in front of others or prefer to work behind the scenes without the spotlight, there is a ministry to suit every comfort level. Each ministry offers training to help you feel confident and prepared in your role. Additionally, each of our four parishes has a supportive committee to guide and assist you in your ministry.
Extraordinary Minister
Sharing the sacramental Body of Christ with
the people of the Body of Christ.
Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion may be appointed to facilitate the distribution of Holy Communion within Mass when there is a large number of communicants; and to allow for a more frequent, even daily, administration of Holy Communion outside of Mass to those impeded from attending Mass because of sickness or physical weakness whether at home or hospital.
Sacristans
They prepare the church for Mass and other Liturgical Services.
During liturgy, they play a supportive role behind the scenes, helping the servers and ministers to be in their places at the right times and providing the items that are needed for worship.
Lector
The Word that you have the privilege of proclaming is the Word of God that desparately needs to be heard and must be proclaimed well. It is an awesome reposibility and honor and you will be inspired to work hard to help the Word of God come alive for the community.
Music Ministry
Music is a powerful testimony of prayer, praise and thanksgiving. New choir member and cantors are always welcome. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the music director of each individual parish.
Ushers
Duties include helping people find seating, collecting offerings, keeping order at the entrance, distributing bulletins, and attendance counting. Parishioners are needed to assist prior to, during and after Sunday Masses and Holy Days.
Greeter/Hospitality
Church greeters welcome, inform, and serve guests at the entrance to our building. They focus on guests and members in the lobby and can engage in meaningful small talk and add to the welcoming experience as worshipers come to attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Altar Servers
You have a place of honor at Mass because you assist the priest in many ways. As we are in the presence of Jesus our king, it is both wise and necessary for you to perform all assigned duties with attention, dignity, and reverence.
