Serve Through Worship

Altar servers play an essential role in the celebration of the Mass and other liturgical events as they assist the priests and at times, visiting clergy like the Archbishop. Through this sacred role, altar servers deepen their connection with God, grow in their faith, and develop a strong sense of community and service.

Who Can Become an Altar Server? Adults, teens, and children of our parish, typically ages 9 and up, who have received their First Communion and are eager to grow spiritually and serve others are invited to consider this ministry. Training will be provided to ensure that each server feels confident and knowledgeable about their role.

The ministry of the Eucharistic minister is a sacred and vital role within the Catholic Church. As a Eucharistic minister, you will be entrusted with the honor of distributing the Body and Blood of Christ during Mass, allowing others to experience the profound grace of the Eucharist. This ministry offers a unique opportunity to grow in faith, serve the community, and deepen your relationship with Christ through the act of giving.

Who Can Become a Eucharistic Minister? Any baptized, confirmed, and practicing Catholic, who is in good standing with the Church, and feels called to serve the community, may become a Eucharistic minister. Training and formation are provided to ensure ministers are fully prepared to handle the Eucharist with reverence and care.

For some members of our parish, attending weekly or daily Mass is not possible due to illness, age, or other circumstances. Homebound Communion ministers bring the Eucharist to parishioners in their homes, care facilities, or hospitals. For many homebound parishioners, these visits are the most comforting part of their week—a cherished moment of spiritual renewal and human connection.

Who Can Become a Homebound Communion Minister? Adult parishioners who are practicing Catholics, have received the Sacraments of Initiation, and have a deep reverence for the Eucharist are welcome to serve. Ministers should be compassionate, dependable, and respectful, with a heart for serving those in need. Training is provided to ensure ministers are well-prepared and confident in this sacred responsibility.

Lectors have the sacred privilege of proclaiming the Scriptures during Mass and other liturgical celebrations, allowing the Word of God to speak to the hearts of the congregation. 

Who Can Become a Lector? Any baptized, confirmed, and practicing Catholic, with a love for the Scriptures and a desire to serve the Church may become a lector. Training will be provided to help you feel confident and prepared to proclaim the Word of God with reverence and clarity.

Sacristans are the quiet servants who ensure that our sacred spaces are prepared and maintained for the celebration of Mass, sacraments, and other liturgical events. They serve God and the community by caring for the altar, sacred vessels, linens, and all necessary materials required for worship

Who Can Become a Sacristan? Any baptized, confirmed, and participating Catholic with a love for the daily Mass, liturgy, and sacraments may become a sacristan. Training and ongoing support are provided by the clergy and liturgists to ensure that sacristans feel confident and prepared in their role.

The ministry of usher is a vital and welcoming role in the Catholic Church. Ushers are often the first faces people encounter when they come to Mass, and they play an important part in creating a warm, inviting, and reverent environment. Ushers foster a spirit of hospitality, assist with the smooth flow of the liturgy, and provide service to the congregation in a variety of ways.

Who Can Become an Usher? All parishioners, regardless of age, who have a heart for service and a desire to help others are invited to consider becoming an usher. Training will be provided to ensure you feel confident and prepared in your role, whether you are welcoming guests, assisting with seating, or guiding the collection process.
