Liturgical Ministers

Altar Servers

The role of the server is to assist the priest and deacon during the celebration of the Mass and at other liturgical celebrations. Servers may be adult or youth, male or female. Servers prepare the sanctuary for the Liturgy, assist in preparation of the gifts during Mass, and insure the sanctuary is in order after the liturgical celebration. If you are in the 4th grade or above, you are invited to participate in this very helpful and rewarding ministry.

Greeters and Ushers

Recent understanding and study about the nature of the worship assembly has given a new significance and status to the role of the Usher/Greeter. As a minister of hospitality, people should be made to feel welcome when they come to worship with us, whether it is their first time here or if they have been with us for years.

Lectors

As ministers of the Word, lectors are called to do what John the Baptist did: proclaim over and over again, “Prepare the way of the Lord!” The role of the lector is to bring God’s Word in Scripture more easily into the lives of all who have ears to hear, namely the assembly. Therefore, they should strive to proclaim the Word of God in a way that touches the hearts of all who come to the liturgy in the hope of challenging them to live that Word.
