Liturgical Ministries

Hospitality Ministers

Hospitality Ministers greet parishioners and visitors as they enter the church. They are also responsible for distributing bulletins and collecting the offertory. Anyone with a special need or request should approach a Hospitality Minister.

Proclaimers

Proclaimers are trained to present the Scripture Readings to the Assembly, in a clear and inspiring manner.  Proclaimers are encouraged to pray with and reflect on the Scripture Readings, in order to have a confident understanding of the message of faith they are proclaiming to God’s People.  Training and preparation for this ministry is offered for new Proclaimers according to their schedule.  

 
Extra Ordinary Ministers of the Eucharist (Lay Eucharistic Ministers)

Extra Ordinary Ministers of the Eucharist (Lay Eucharistic Ministers) are persons entrusted with sharing and bringing the Body and Blood of Christ to their sisters and brothers in faith.  All elements of the Eucharistic celebration (Mass) move toward the reception of Holy Communion.  It is at this time we share and are fed with the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus and become one with all members of the Body of Christ.  Extra Ordinary Ministers of the Eucharist also take the Blessed Sacrament (Body of Christ) to those who are unable to celebrate and worship with the praying faith community.  

 
Servers

Servers assist the Presider (priest) before, during and after the Eucharistic celebration (Mass).  Their reverent and respectful presence at the altar demonstrates their prayerful awareness of the holy action at which they are participating.  Any child or Youth who has received First Holy Communion and any adult (male or female) is welcome serve at the table of the Lord in this ministry.  

 
Ministers of Music (Cantors and Accompanists)

With a desire to share their God-given gifts and assist the worshipping community in sung prayer, these ministers support  their faith community through instrumentation, song leading (canting) and musical accompaniment.  Anyone interested in serving as a Music Minister should be an adult or in high school or college.
