Liturgical Ministries
“There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.”
– 1 Corinthians 12:5
Serving at the Altar of God
The liturgy is the source and summit of our Christian life. Through our liturgical ministries, we have the privilege of assisting the whole community in worshiping God with reverence, beauty, and joy. We invite you to consider how your talents might be used for the glory of God.

Lectors/Readers
Ministers who proclaim the Word of God during the Liturgy of the Word, reading the First and Second Readings and the Responsorial Psalm.
Eucharistic Ministers
Young people who assist the priest during Mass, bearing the cross and candles, and helping with the preparation of the gifts.
Choir
