Altar Servers
The ministry of Altar Server provides an opportunity for all young people as well as adults of our parish to assist the priest during Mass. This participation during the Celebration of the Mass helps a person to grow in their faith and develop a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father and our parish family. This is a great way for people to get close to Christ in the Mass and to the very heart of the Church.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion offer the Body and Blood of Christ to God's people by distributing communion at Mass and taking communion to the sick and homebound of the parish. After a training session, ministers are commissioned on the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (the second Sunday after Pentecost). An Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion must be a Baptized and Confirmed practicing Catholic 16 years of age or older.
Readers
This ministry offers members the opportunity to read the Word of God during the Liturgy of the Word at Mass and other special liturgies. Readers proclaim and convey God's Holy Word so that the Word challenges and captures the hearts of His people. This ministry is exceptionally rewarding, allowing a person to grow spiritually while developing a greater understanding of God’s Word. All new readers are required to attend a training session.
Ushers
Ushers help to cultivate an atmosphere of hospitality by welcoming people to liturgies for the Lord's Day and other special events. Ushers serve the assembly by assisting in seating, gathering the offering, and being available to ensure a well conducted liturgy.
