Liturgical Ministry

Assembly

The Liturgical Assembly is made up of every person who comes to celebrate Mass or one of the other Sacraments.  We are people called by God through Christ to gather as a community to express our faith and deepen it through our full and active participation in the communal prayer of the Church.

Altar Server

Our Altar Servers assist the priest with reverence, faithfulness and love during the celebration of the liturgy, and help to make our parish liturgies meaningful and prayerful. 

Extraordinary Minister of Communion

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are faithful men and women who have a deep love for the Body of Christ present in the sacred bread and wine and in the people of God.  

Lector

Our lectors have a love of scripture and scripture study, and a desire to discover and express the love of God through the proclamation of God’s Word.  

Usher

As participants in the common worship and prayer of our community, our Ushers take care of many details of our celebrations so that our liturgies flow smoothly and without distraction.  

Master of Ceremonies

The Master of Ceremonies (MC) has a deep love of the liturgy and is attentive to detail.  MC’s primarily minister at major parish celebrations and feast days, and work to give direction to the flow of the liturgy.

Liturgical Environment

With a sense of beauty and space, the Minister of Art and Environment has the ability to assist in the planning and preparation of the worship environment throughout the liturgical seasons.

Liturgy Committee

Coordinators of the many and various liturgical ministries make up the membership of the Liturgy Committee.  This group meets several times a year to study, evaluate, plan and prepare the liturgical celebrations for our faith community.

Altar Society

The Altar Society gathers regularly for prayer and community.  This organization supports and enhances all of the liturgical ministries of the parish.  Members of the Altar Society assist to provide and care for vestments and linens, candles, and all the items needed for the celebration of the sacred liturgy.
