Altar Servers
Altar servers share in a ministry which has a long history in the Church. Servers assist the priest and congregation in carrying out the ministry of communal Eucharistic celebration. Altar Servers are scheduled to serve weekday and Sunday Masses during the year on a rotating basis.
Requirements:
- Attend Mass regularly and know the prayer responses and a basic knowledge of the parts of the Mass
Eucharistic Ministers
Lay Eucharistic Ministers are called to share the Body and Blood of Christ with parishioners at Mass, in local hospitals and nursing homes, and with the homebound. This ministry involves a sincere belief in Christ's Eucharistic presence and a deep appreciation for the divine gift shared. The role is about selfless giving, rooted in love for those served, encapsulating sacrifice, thanksgiving, healing, and faith in Jesus’ saving acts. By serving, ministers actively participate in parish life and witness to Christ's love.
Lectors
The ministry of the lector is pivotal to our parish, bringing the Word of God to life during Mass. Central to this role is a deep love for the Scriptures and their impact on the community, demonstrated through diligent study and practice. Lectors must possess both a passion for the Scriptures and a genuine connection with the listeners. Serving as a lector is a sacred trust, requiring a profound understanding of the Word, which can be enhanced by engaging in Bible study.
Ushers
Ushers play a crucial role in ensuring a welcoming and orderly worship experience. They provide hospitality by greeting worshipers with a smile and assisting them throughout the liturgy, which significantly shapes the parish's welcoming atmosphere. They handle essential tasks such as seating the congregation, collecting offerings, directing Communion, managing emergencies, and maintaining the church’s order. Ushers are also involved in special liturgical events and assist with any specific needs of the assembly.
Music
Our music ministry aims to glorify God through sung prayer, guided by Christ’s teachings and Church traditions. Open to all parishioners, the ministry welcomes both singers and instrumentalists to lead the assembly in prayer and provide musical reflections on scripture. Participants are involved in Sunday services and special liturgies throughout the year.
