Liturgical Ministries
Altar Servers assist the priest during Sunday Mass and other liturgies. Any child 4th grade and up, or adults, may participate. This ministry is an ideal way to serve the community as part of the Sacrifice of the Mass. For more information, contact Meghan Magnano at meghanmagnano@hotmail.com.
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist assist with the preparation and distribution of the Eucharist at Mass. Being an active participant in the liturgical life of the parish is required. Ideally, each minister would serve one Mass at their preferred time each month. For more information, contact Kristy Rudolph, kristysgarden@comcast.net.
Lectors boldly proclaim the Word of God at Sunday and Holy Day liturgies. A lector workbook is provided to prepare the upcoming Scripture readings. This ministry also tries to schedule lectors one time each month at their preferred Mass. For more information, contact Bill Webb, wil.liam.webb@comcast.net.
Mass Facilitators provide oversight of and assistance to all the other ministers at Mass, locate substitute ministers when those scheduled fail to appear, are the “go-to” person for all ministers and parishioners at Mass and fill in for absent ministers when unable to locate substitutes. The time commitment is arriving 30 minutes prior to Mass and staying 30 minutes after Mass, for those weekends assigned. For more information, contact John Thonssen, jjthon@comcast.net.
Ushers provide a welcoming environment at weekend liturgies, greet and seat parishioners and visitors, take up the collection, see that offertory gifts are brought to the altar, distribute weekly bulletins, tidy up the church after Mass, and assist with various situations that arise. Children, third grade and older, are welcome to participate with their parents. Ideally, each volunteer is scheduled once a month at their preferred Mass time. For more information, contact Dave Jones, wildpitcher@yahoo.com.
