Draw Closer to Jesus by Serving Him at Mass

Engage your child in a Liturgical Ministry
to contribute to the spiritual growth of our entire community,
but especially our children

Building relationships takes an encounter. Introduce your children to Jesus by serving Him at the Sunday Children’s Mass ministered exclusively by our youth. Share these many ministry options and see if one or more sparks an interest in your child.  

We are also in search of Liturgical Ministry Coordinators to prepare children for the Children's Mass. Parents, your involvement is crucial; you're encouraged to consider taking up roles as coordinators for various liturgical ministries to assist in training participating children.

Here's how you can discern your role and sign up as a trainer/coordinator for one or more of the ministries below:

Altar Servers / Incense Ministers: These ministers serve God and the community through their presence and assistance at the altar. This ministry is open to all young people, both male and female, in the 3rd grade and older.  Advanced altar servers and adults can also train and serve as Incense Minsters.

Lectors: Through the ministry of the lector within the liturgy, God speaks to the people and Christ proclaims his Gospel.  Persons interested in this ministry must be willing to demonstrate and develop their gift in the public proclamation of the Word.

Hospitality/Greeters: In addition to greeting people when they arrive, Hospitality Ministers help ensure proper social distancing as they bring forward the community at Communion, assist with dismissal, and pass out bulletins.

Worship Coordinators/Sacristan: Each liturgical celebration requires a trained Worship Coordinator present to help prepare the altar, ensure that we have enough ministers, help the clergy prepare, and do all the ‘behind the scenes’ preparation that helps the Mass be a great experience for all present.

Music Ministry: God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song, and God is indeed present whenever his people sing his praises. The music ministry supports and strengthens the community’s faith and worship. 
Choirs composed of children, teens, and adults are supported by accompanists, handbell ringers, and instrumentalists. 
The Cantor proclaims the Word of God and leads singing at liturgical celebrations.  Choir members attend a weekly rehearsal to prepare for weekend Masses and holy days.

Once you submit your name, contact information, and ministry interest, we will contact you with more information, including training.

Thank you for your consideration to become a minister for the Church.
