LITURGICAL MINISTRIES

At the heart of our parish life is the celebration of the Eucharist. Each of these ministries offers a sacred opportunity to serve Christ and His Church through reverent and joyful participation in the liturgy. Whether you’re drawn to quiet preparation, public proclamation, or welcoming others into the house of God, there’s a place for you here.

Welcome parishioners, assist with seating, take up the collection, and say farewell after Mass. Help create a spirit of hospitality and reverence.

Join us in serving through simple acts of welcome.

Lector

Proclaim the Word of God with clarity and conviction. Lectors must love Scripture and be confident readers to make the living Word heard and felt.

If the Word burns in your heart, come proclaim it aloud.
