    Hospitality Minister - Greeter
    Greeters welcome parishioners at the doors of the church with a smile. After Mass these ministers distribute bulletins.  This opportunity is ideal for families who wish to serve together.

    Sacristan
    Sacristans are responsible for ensuring the supplies needed for Communion are ready for Mass. They also prepare for other aspects of the Mass. To be part of this ministry, you must be responsible and reverent. Sacristans help at both daily Mass and weekend Masses.

  • Music Ministry

    Cantors lead the congregation in prayer through the singing of various Mass parts. Cantors should have a good singing voice and the ability to lead the faithful in effective participation.

    Choirs
    The music ministry involves leading the congregation in singing. Our goal is to enhance our liturgies with music and to have active participation from the congregation at our weekend and Holy Day liturgies.
