Many parishioners work behind the scenes, and in front of the congregation, to deliver Mass each week.  For more information about any of the ministries listed here, please contact Maryn at the office at 876-2235.
 
Lectors - Proclaim the Word at Sunday, daily, and special liturgies. Training required. Must be confirmed. 

Eucharistic Ministers - Eucharistic Ministers assist the Presider in distributing both the Bread of Life and the cup of Salvation to the Parish Community. Training required. Must be confirmed. Instruction on bringing communion to the sick is also available.
 
Ushers - Ushers assist in helping people find seats, they answer questions, and welcome all to the church. They are responsible for “taking” up the offering during the preparation of the gifts as well as distributing the Parish Bulletin at the end of Mass. 

Altar Servers - Altar Servers assist the Presider in preparing the altar and leading processions for Sunday liturgies and special celebrations. Male and female youth are welcome. Adult servers are also needed for funerals and weekday Masses. 
Mass Coordinators - Mass Coordinators are responsible for all tasks involved in the preparation for the liturgical celebrations. This would include anything from opening the church to seeing that a family is available to bring forth the gifts to the altar at the time of their preparation.

Hospitality Ministers - Hospitality Ministers welcome, greet, and distribute hymn books to parishioners as they enter the church. They may assist the ushers in seating and seeing to the needs of the community. They are visible so that people may ask them questions or share concerns. 
 
Music Ministry - The Music Ministry is comprised of a vibrant, multi-talented group of dedicated musicians, who praise and give thanks to God through their music and commitment. Music is an integral part of our liturgies and an important way to draw all into our Eucharistic celebrations. We have youth choirs, contemporary choirs, cantors, instrumentalists, directors, and part singers who provide a wide variety of liturgical music for our liturgies. Despite a variety of music, musicians of the parish draw together to provide wonderful music for celebrations that include a yearly parish Mass, Christmas Eve liturgies, feast day of St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, sacramental liturgies and Easter celebrations. New members are always invited to join!

Liturgy Committee - The Liturgy Committee is made up of parishioners who assist and reflect upon the liturgies of our faith community. This Committee aids the pastor and pastoral staff in planning and coordinating good liturgies for our parish. This Committee also plans and organizes different liturgies that may take place within the Liturgical year, including Taize prayer, Sacramental celebrations, Liturgy of the Hours, Penitential liturgies and celebrations within the Liturgical Year. This Committee also assists in the coordinating and scheduling of all liturgical ministry within the parish. The Committee attempts to educate itself in understanding the importance and make-up of good liturgical practices.
