Members of the Liturgical Ministries (Homebound Ministry, Altar Servers, Eucharistic Ministers, Readers, Sacristans and Ushers) assist in providing service at all parish Masses, as well as weddings, funerals, and other liturgical services.
ALTAR SERVERS:
Altar Servers assist the Priest before, during, and after the liturgy. Mature boys and girls in the third grade or above, as well as adults, are eligible to enter the altar server program. All servers should complete the contact form to the left and return to [email protected].COMMUNION MINISTERS:
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion assist the priests, when needed, in the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass. They may also assist in taking communion to the sick or homebound. Any individual over the age of 16 may participate in this ministry. Extraordinary Ministers must be commissioned to perform this ministry.
LECTORS:
Readers proclaim the readings at Mass and sometimes read the Prayers of the Faithful if the deacon is not assisting at Mass. Any individual who is confirmed may participate in this ministry.
HOMEBOUND MINISTRY:
This is a ministry of the parish that seeks to keep our homebound brothers and sisters connected to our parish by bringing them Communion and spending time with them on a weekly or monthly basis.SACRISTANS:
A sacristan is a minister who diligently arranges the things that are necessary for the celebration of the Mass. Under the general direction of the clergy, the sacristan undertakes the overall preparation of liturgical celebrations, including the things necessary in the celebration of Mass, such as cruets, chalices, ciboria, linens, oils, processional crosses, and candles. The sacristan assists the other ministers of the liturgy with the preparation and celebration.
USHERS:Ushers serve the community by greeting people when they come to Church, assist people with finding seats, taking up and securing the collection, choosing someone to bring up the gifts, directing the flow of those receiving communion, and passing out bulletins after Mass.
