Mass Coordinators, Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers,
Altar Attendants, Ushers, and Greeters

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace. Whoever preaches, let it be with the words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

1 Peter 4: 10-11

The purpose of the liturgical ministries is to enhance the celebration of the Mass for the congregation. Most of the ministries are scheduled according to when the volunteer is able to serve. Ministries for weekend Masses are scheduled in advance while other special Masses (i.e. funerals and weddings) and Holy Day Masses are typically filled with volunteers by sign-up. All members of the parish is encouraged to participate in the ministry that fits their schedule. Please contact Bonnie for more information, stchristopherscheduler@gmail.com.
