LITURGICAL MINISTRIES

Altar Servers

Boys and girls can assist the priest at all liturgical services that require servers, such as daily and weekend Masses, funerals, and weddings. Altar Servers must be in the fifth grade or older and have received their First Communion.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Communion Ministers have the special responsibility of helping priests and deacons to distribute the Body and Blood of Christ at Mass. With permission, they may also bring Jesus to the sick.

Lectors

Lectors proclaim the Word of God at Mass in an inspiring and meaningful way by assisting the priest with the readings, petitions and announcements of the Mass.

They carefully review the Scripture passages and practice reading them aloud before coming to Mass. We ask that all lectors please use Lector Resources as a great tool in preparation. This ministry is open to any prayerful parishioner who reads well.

Ushers | Greeters

Ushers greet parishioners at weekend Masses, take up the collection, distribute bulletins, and perform other duties as needed to ensure the Mass progresses smoothly.

Funeral Ushers
Ushers are needed to serve our parishioners at Funeral Masses throughout the week, greeting those who mourn, directing mourners to their seats and providing needed information pertaining to the funeral service.

Greeters
Greeters create a welcoming environment by greeting parishioners and visitors as they enter the church for Masses.
