EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION
EMHCs have a deep love for our Eucharistic Lord and help to distribute the Body and Precious Blood of Christ at weekend Masses. Some also volunteer to take the Eucharist to the homebound in our parish.

LECTORS
Lectors are parishioners who have a special love for the Word of God and feel called to share it to others. They are provided with a Lector Workbook at the start  of each liturgical year to help them prepare to proclaim the Word at Mass.

LEADERS
Leaders welcome all those gathered for Mass, sharing announcements about parish events at the beginning and leading the congregation in the Prayers of the Faithful during Mass. These are sent to them each week so they may prepare.

ALTAR SERVERS
Altar Servers assist the priest during Mass by serving at the Lord’s altar. Training is done in the 3 rd grade after the students (from Holy Family School or PSR) have received their First Communion. Other trainings done as needed. For funerals, we welcome any adult who would like to be trained.

GIFT BEARERS
Gift bearers are invited by the ushers to bring up the offertory at each Mass. The people who are gift bearers can be family members or friends. You may check with the ushers prior to Mass to see if they still need someone to carry the offertory.

USHER
Ushers help guide people to open seating at Mass, find gift bearers prior to Mass, and facilitate the passing of collection baskets. Following Mass, ushers are responsible for the sorting of the collection and place it in the tamper-proof bag in
the sacristy; ensuring it is given to the priest for deposit in the back. 
*Per diocesan policy, at least two people who are not related are required to sort the collection.

GREETERS
Mass greeters are some of the first faces people see as they arrive at Mass. They are asked to be to church 20-30 minutes before Mass begins in order to welcome parishioners and guests at the entrances.

CANTORS
Those who are gifted with vocal talents are invited to lead the congregation in song at weekend and Holy Day Masses, as well as funeral liturgies and other celebrations.

MUSICIANS
We are always grateful to those who are willing to share their musical talents as organists, pianists, or guitarists at Mass. Helping the congregation to give praise and worship to God.
