Enhance the Liturgy

Altar Assistants and Servers assist the priest during each mass.

Boys and girls who have made their First Communion who assist the priest during mass. Attendance in a training session is required prior to serving.

Mass sacristans are responsible for the preparation and care of the materials used in the liturgy (water, wine, communion vessels) and clean up after each mass.

Lectors serve the community by proclaiming the Word of God through scripture readings at all masses. Training is required to participate in this ministry. Please contact the office for more information.

The ushers are responsible for making welcome and meeting the needs of our people at all masses. They assist the congregation with seating, offertory, taking up the gifts, directions during communion and distributing bulletins and handouts at the end of services. If you see that you can help during a mass, we welcome your involvement.

Sing at one or more mass. Become a cantor. New members are welcome; please contact Gerard DiMartini for more information.

Mass Coordinators assist the Director of Liturgy as needed and help maintain a calm and prayerful setting before all masses. They assure that all ministries are staffed for each mass.

Sacristans provide care for our sacred spaces. They come in during the week to care for the plants, replenish Holy Water, provide general cleaning and care for the altars and sacristies, and maintain altar and votive candles.

These ministers assist the priest at mass with the distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ. Each has been trained and commissioned to carry out this sacred duty. They also bring Holy Communion to the sick and home-bound.

Members of the Liturgy committee plan the liturgy.
