Weekday Liturgical Ministers
Weekday Liturgical Ministers fill Liturgical Ministry roles for 6:30 or 8:15 am weekday and 8:00 am Saturday Masses including Altar Server, Sacristan, Lector and Eucharistic Minister. Training is required. Anyone who has completed 8th grade is eligible to participate, upon completion of the required training session(s). Also, when first starting to serve in your chosen ministry, a current member of the ministry team will work beside new ministers as long as needed.
Typically, these ministers are asked to provide their chosen service on a “once per week” basis, unless more often is needed. It is your choice. If there are enough parishioners interested, a rotating schedule could be initiated. Also, someone may need a sub. All ministers are volunteers and are usually quick to accept a sub request. We look forward to working with anyone interested. God bless you and your family!
