Music ministry is a vital part of our liturgies, and we are always seeking
additional talent. Our choir
practices Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the church, September thru
May. There is also a seasonal children's Christmas and Easter choir,
several cantors, an adult ensemble for the Sunday evening Family Liturgy and
many talented accompanists and other instrumentalists (and always room for
more!). If you are interested in volunteering your talent, please contact
Sue Warren, our music director, at 249-3319.
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist are members of the faith community
who serve the people by distributing the Body and Blood of Christ at
liturgies. They also respond to the needs of the ill and homebound by
taking to them the Body of Christ. Fully initiated Catholics are invited t
this ministry. Because of the special nature of the ministry, Eucharistic
Ministers are commissioned with the Bishop's approval; they serve a three-year
commitment, which includes annual training and formation. If you are
interested in being a Eucharistic Minister, please contact Yvonne Kuta at 249-3319.
The Lectors proclaim the Word of God during Mass and other liturgical
celebrations. It is God who speaks when Holy Scripture is read aloud in
the church. Thus, lectors are privileged to assume the role of God's
heralds in announcing the Good News of salvation. The proclamation of the
scriptures fosters a greater lover for the Word and deeper insight into its
meaning, allowing others to live God's Word in their lives. If you are
interested in this ministry, please contact the Bob Balerio at 249-3319.
We are always in need of altar servers and encourage the young people of our
parish to participate in this ministry. These children, boys and girls,
who have made their First Communion and are in at least the 3rd grade, help the
deacon and the priest during the Mass and other liturgical celebrations.
If your child is interested, please contact Florence Orndorff at 252-8336 or
Nancy Romero at 249-6553.
This group of volunteers provide freshly baked bread for the Eucharist on a
rotating basis. Anyone interested in the rewarding ministry should call
249-3319.
Ushers and greeters help welcome and seat all people in our church.
They assist those with special needs. Each usher or greeter is usually
scheduled once each month or two, depending on how many are signed up for a
particular Mass time. We are always in need of people for this
ministry. If you are interested in either of these ministries,
please contact Sue Warren at 249-3319.
A creative, imaginative and energetic group who works on seasonal changes for
our church's worship space. When you sit in church and look at the
environment, can you envision seeing something different? We are always in
need of good imaginations, people with more ideas and hands to carry out that
vision. Artistic or not - just being interested goes a long way.
Very few meetings are held. Contact Sue Warren at 249-3319.
Altar linens are prepared and cared for by volunteers. One person is
scheduled each month. Please call Berta Lucero at 249-9578 if you would
like to participate in this ministry.
