What are Liturgical Ministries?

People come here from all kinds of backgrounds and in different stages of doubt and faith.  Visitors and curious friends might be here to see what this Catholic thing is all about.  All of them are waiting to be served, inspired, and challenged in their relationship with Christ, fellowship with others, and their inevitable wrestling match with life's biggest questions.

Liturgical Ministries offers a huge opportunity to inspire faith, deepen prayer, elevate spirits, plant seeds, welcome strangers, and help everyone discover the compassion and beauty of life with Christ and His Church.

Lectors proclaim the Word of God at Mass.
Gift Bearers bring the bread, wine and gifts to the altar at each Mass.
Ushers and Greeters welcome the friend and stranger at Mass.
EM's (Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion) distribute Holy Communion.
Altar Servers assist the priest in celebrating the Mass.
Sacristans keep the church beautiful, and others help by making flower arrangements or decorations.
Music. If you have a musical gift, contact the Director of Music to sing or play an instrument in one of the music groups.
All of these roles are very important!  Click around and learn a little more about the ministries, then take a few moments to think about what role you would like to assume as a part of the Liturgical Ministries.
