Please contact the parish office to get involved in any of these ministries.
USHERS
Ushers play an important role in helping the logistics of the Holy Mass to happen. They assist parishioners in finding seats; they take up the collection and present it to the priest during the offertory; they lead the procession for receiving Holy Communion; and they ensure that there are enough bulletins for everyone after Mass. Ushers are scheduled 6-8 times a quarter.
This ministry is open to any parishioner of High School age or older.
LECTORS
Lectors are responsible for proclaiming the Word of God through the Old Testament and Epistle Readings. Sometimes, lectors also assist in the Responsorial Psalm. As the Word of God is central to our Catholic faith, this proclamation should be carefully and boldly read aloud to our congregation. Lectors are scheduled 1-2 times a quarter.
This ministry is open to fully initiated Catholics in good standing with the Church.
