Ways to Minister at Mass

If you would like to volunteer at Mass contact the parish office.

Church Sacristans

These volunteers prepare the altar for the weekend masses.  They also maintain the altar candles and votive candles in the church. They distribute new missals in the pews as needed and clean the pews after the Masses if needed. Contributions from the prayer candles are used to purchase the candles and oil, with any other needed funds coming from the Parish budget.

 

Eucharist Minister

These individuals assist during Mass with the distribution of the body and blood of Christ.

 

Greeters

These friendly volunteers come to mass early so that they can give others a warm welcome and spread a little good cheer to parishioners and visitors alike.

Presentation of Gifts

Volunteer families present the bread and wine to the altar during the weekend Masses. This ministry is something that families can do together to be involved with the mass.

 

Lectors

At each Mass, these individuals assist the priest in reading the Word of God. The readings include the 1 ^st and 2 ^nd readings, the Responsorial Psalm (if not sung) and the Prayers of the Faithful.

 

Rosary Leader

These volunteers arrive 20-30 minutes before mass and lead the rosary for those in attendance.
Currently suspended due to Covid.

 

Servers

Servers assist the presiding priest at the altar during mass. 

 

Ushers

At each Mass, these individuals are responsible for directing parishioners to available seating, taking up the weekly collection and other special collections, distributing bulletins and other materials, and straightening the church after the Mass. The ushers keep things organized and secure the Sunday collection.
