Organizations
 

Altar Servers:  The Altar Server ministry is for boys and girls 4th grade and up.  In addition to serving at Masses, they assist Father in the preparation and clean-up of the sanctuary area of the church before and after Masses.

 

Lectors:  The Lector Ministry involves proclaiming the Word of God during Mass and during special occasions such as Holy Week.  A Workbook for Lectors and Gospel Readers is provided to all lectors in order to be familiar with and rehearse prior to Mass.  No previous experience is required and some training will be needed.

 

Greeters:  The Greeter ministry is simply being present at the entrance to welcome people as they arrive for Mass.  A warm handshake or just a greeting, whatever you feel comfortable doing in our worshipping family.

 

Ushers:  The Ushers are responsible for seating parishioners, passing collection baskets, handing out bulletins, replacing hymnals and checking seat rows after Mass.

 

Music Ministry:  Our Music Ministry offers great opportunity for giving of time and talent.  Instrumentalists are needed to accompany the singing at Mass.  Guitarists and pianists are especially needed and they play in a rotation of Masses.  Singers are urged to consider cantoring, which includes leading hymns and acclamations and singing the psalms as Mass, as well as being members of the youth or adult choir.

 

Offertory Gifts:  Members of the parish are welcome to take part in the Mass by bringing the gifts of bread and wine to the altar during our celebration of the Eucharist.  Each week a different family or group of volunteers takes part in this ministry.

 

Altar Society:  The Altar Society is a group of women of the parish that seek areas of need and volunteer their time and talent for various causes including serving on the Funeral Dinner Committee, selling Dillon's Gift Certificates, cleaning the parish office, and multiple fundraising events to enable the purchase of the altar and to help in other needs of our parish.

 

Parish Men's Club:  The Parish Men's Club gathers the adult men of the parish for social, service and spiritual projects throughout the year.  They assist with major projects in the parish and participate in a sizeable number of ministries.  The Men's Club is an opportunity to share in our Catholic faith while assisting the parish with various projects that are called upon by the parish's needs and the Pastor.

 

CYO/Youth Ministry:  The Youth Ministry is provided for the youth of our parish.  This includes two separate organizations:  High School youth ministry and Middle School Youth Ministry.  It links eight components (Advocacy, Catechists, Community Life, Evangelism, Justice, Peace and Service, Leadership Development, Pastoral Care, Prayer and Worship) with four different program settings:  youth programming, family ministry, inolvement in parish life and collaboration with the civic community.  This program provides a means to reach a broader audience and use the resources of the parish and civic community more effectively.
