Liturgical Ministries
Liturgy is best described as the public worship of the Church. While there are many types of liturgies, the Mass and the seven sacraments are the primary forms of liturgical celebrations. The parish Liturgy Committee is responsible for providing trained liturgical ministers for all Sunday, Holy Day and weekday liturgies.
Children's Liturgy Assistants
Adult volunteers are needed to assist at the Children's Liturgy, celebrated the third Sunday of each month at 8:30 a.m., as well as on Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday. Volunteers help the children practice the liturgical ministries of lector, usher and gift bearer before each Mass. Training is provided.
