Sacristan
– The Sacristan prepares the Altar and Sanctuary for the Mass. They
set up the credence and gift tables, set out the Lectionary, light the
candles, etc. They ensure that everything is ready for the Celebrant to
celebrate the Liturgy. We would like to have a Sacristan for each
Mass.

- Altar Servers assist our Celebrants during
our Liturgies. They also lead our Offertory Procession. Training is
available for anyone in fourth grade or higher. Mrs. Sharon Trimaldi
coordinates this Ministry. This is a wonderful way to involve our
youth and enable them to learn more about service and about the Mass!
Altar Server for Funerals - We would like to expand our Funeral Ministry by enlisting more altar servers. Training is being provided for those who may be interested in serving. What a wonderful opportunity for anyone who may be available during the day to serve Our Lord and to offer assistance to others in need. You may be flexible in your commitment and indicate your availability. Please call Mary Ann Noto at 467-4286, ext. 106 for more information.

Minister of
Hospitality (Usher) –The first impression of a parish is sometimes
one that is made through the contact we have with our Ministers of
Hospitality! We ask that they enlist parishioners to assist in our
Offertory Procession, assist with parking, as well as their duties of
seating and answering questions. The main “requirement” of this
ministry is to provide a kind, welcoming, helpful attitude to all those
who come into our parish family.
