Lectors are proclaimers of the Word of God at our Sunday and weekday liturgies.  If you have a good speaking voice and the desire to communicate the all important Scriptures, we will provide the training.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Extraordinary Ministers help with the distribution of the Body and the Blood of Christ at Mass when a priest is not available.  They also visit the sick and bring Holy Communion to them.  An interview with the Pastor is required as well as the necessary training.

Welcome Ministers

Popularly known as Ushers, they do much more than show people their seats and take the collection.  They are the welcoming face of our community, especially to the newcomer to our parish, and they help to maintain reverence durnig liturgical services.  You must be both friendly and patient for this important ministry.

 

Liturgical Environment Ministry (NEW)

We would like to make our Church even more festive on big feasts such as Christmas and Easter.  But we need help throughout the year as well to enhance the environment of the Church in an appropriate way.  If you have a good eye for color and like to decorate or even have a job in this field, we can use your talent.
