Liturgy

Stewardship is a way of life. Fellowship is one of the building blocks of stewardship. Welcoming our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus and offering to them a sense of community is important in the practice of stewardship.

Eucharistic Ministers
Eucharistic ministers assist in the distribution of the precious body and blood of Jesus Christ with reverence and dignity at liturgical celebrations, to the homebound and to individuals in nursing homes, retirement homes or in the hospital. At various times throughout the year, interested parishioners will be invited to an evening of formation and instruction. Interested individuals need to have a deep love for God, believe that the consecrated host and wine are the Body and Blood of Christ and be willing to live as true disciples. Deepen your relationship with God; be a Eucharistic minister.

Church Choir

Our church choir enhances the faith experience of the community through song at liturgical celebrations of the Church  Our choir leads the music at Holy Day Masses and the Sunday 10:30 Mass. 

We always welcome new members middle-school aged and older.  There is no experience needed and no audition necessary.  Your family is welcome to sit in the balcony so that you can all worship together at Mass.  Whether a part of choir or a member singing from the pews, together we serve God through music and participation in the Mass.  For more information contact Alain Miller.

Resurrection Choir
This choir leads the music at all funerals in the parish. People who have flexible daytime schedules who are willing to share their musical talents make up the group. We plan on attending all funerals at the church, unless otherwise notified. If you are interested in this ministry, contact the church office.

Lectors
The ministry of lector involves the duty and privilege of bringing to life the scriptures at liturgy. Lectors proclaim the word of God to the community so that all might more meaningfully share in the Eucharistic celebration. Lectors give voice to God's healing, strengthening and promise-filled word, aiding all of us to be moved closer to Him and bring greater glory to His name.

Sacristans
Sacristans work closely with the priest and deacons and coordinate all aspects of our liturgical celebrations. They set up the sanctuary, organize communion stations, confirm lector and server assignments in preparation for the celebration of the liturgy and assist with countless other tasks to ensure that our worship and prayer is the best possible. If you are organized, able to coordinate people, events and details and effectively execute procedures, we could use your help orchestrating all the details in the liturgies.

Servers
Students in grades 4 through high school are invited to be trained to assist the priest and deacon at Mass. Besides assisting at weekend liturgies, servers are asked to serve at funerals, weddings, Stations of the Cross, and other religious services. Older servers are trained to use incense and mentor the younger servers. 

Ushers
Ushers assist individuals to find seating prior to and during the Eucharistic celebration. Ushers are also responsible for the collection at the preparation of the gifts and facilitate the distribution patterns at the time of communion. Parishioners who enjoy greeting people, offering assistance and have a pleasant disposition will find this ministry very satisfying. This is a wonderful way to give of yourself more fully while attending Mass.
