Liturgical Ministries
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.

Art & Environment
The Environment & Art Ministry decorates the church and narthex for Christmas, Easter, and smaller feasts in between. Special skills are not required because there is plenty to do in terms of staging, moving, and helping. This is a great, simple ministry for bringing others closer to Christ by better reflecting heaven on earth.

Lectors
Readers have the privilege and responsibility of proclaiming the Word of God during the celebration of Mass. Readers must first and foremost have a deep love of and respect for Scripture. Secondly, readers must be able to proclaim the readings audibly, clearly, and with passion to communicate God’s word. Readers are required to be practicing Catholics and attend a training session at least once a year.

Ushers
Ushers greet worshipers at Sunday Masses; assist in seating people; assist those with special needs; guide collection baskets; and distribute bulletins and handouts after Masses. This important ministry often serves as our first contact with newcomers and visitors to the parish, so Ushers should be warm, engaging, welcoming beacons of Christ’s love to strangers.
