Liturgical Ministries

---

Parish staff and parishioners meet regularly throughout the year to organize and plan our liturgies, study the foundations of our liturgical tradition, and review and set policies that guide our worship life.

Lectors share their gifts to proclaim the  Word of God at our weekend celebrations and other prayer  gatherings. This important ministry guides us as we encounter the  stories and wisdom of our faith.

Eucharistic Ministers not only assist in  the communal sharing of the sacred bread and wine at Mass, but many also  extend the life of our community as they bring the Eucharist to those  in our community who are sick or home bound.

Sacristans have a vital role in assuring  that the “behind the scene” details are in place for the liturgy to  unfold smoothly. They assist in many ways such as coordinating the  various liturgical processions and collections, and they help to set up  and clean up before and after the actual liturgical celebration.

This Ministry is open to youth and adults, male and female alike. They lead processions with cross and candle, or assist with the liturgical books and altar vessels used by  the Presider or other ministers.

This is a subcommittee under the direction of the liturgy committee, and their charge is to help create a visual environment for our community to pray. Through their creative  work they help provide an atmosphere that reflects and gives unity and attention to the celebration of the various liturgical seasons and to our prayer together.

Arrive on Saturday a few minutes early to record Mass.
