Liturgy Team
This group reviews and coordinates all of the parish's liturgies and other celebrations.
Eucharistic Ministers
Those selected to this ministry must be fully initiated and registered members of the community, both male and female, and of sufficient age and maturity. They should have distinguished themselves by lives of faith, prayer, and a willingness to be formed in the ministry of the Church. Above all, they should have an abiding reverence for the presence of Christ in the Eucharistic bread and wine and in the assembly of the faithful.
Leader: Rev. Thomas Tobin Phone: 541-4447
Lectors/Readers
Those who fulfill this ministry proclaim God’s word to our community at parish liturgies. They must be of sufficient age and competency, knowledgeable about the Bible and always willing to learn more.

Hospitality Ministers (Ushers)
Men and women in this ministry greet all who come to Mass, guide them to their
seats, if necessary, and answer any questions they might have. Their warm
welcome and gentle hospitality help to prepare the faithful for their joy-filled
participation in our parish liturgies. Leader:
Mr. Gerry Malek Phone 531-2553
Sacristans
Through all the centuries, every local Church entrusted its keys to a minister
called the sacristan. Sacristans were listed by writers, St. Jerome for one, and
by Church councils as "ministers of God" while taking great care to stress the
holy nature of the work of sacristans. St. Isidore (7th Century) described the
ministry as the care of security, access, vestments, sacred vessels, oil,
candles, etc. Before Christians ever began to use Tabernacles in the main
worship space, the Eucharist was reserved in the sacristy. Leader:
Mrs. Mattie Mores Phone 549-4196
Altar Servers
This ministry is open to all youth in the fourth grade and above who have received their First Holy Communion as well as all interested adults. The title “server” clearly underlines their duties: to serve God, his people, and the celebrant at regular Masses, wedding and funeral liturgies, and other special occasions.
