Liturgical Ministries
Share Your Gifts in Worship
The time and talents of our parishioners help make our parish communities places of faith, fellowship, and worship. Liturgical ministries offer meaningful opportunities to serve Christ and His Church by helping create prayerful, reverent, and welcoming celebrations of the Mass and other liturgical services.Whether you enjoy welcoming others, proclaiming God’s Word, serving at the altar, or sharing your musical talents, there is a place for you in our parish cluster. We invite you to prayerfully consider volunteering in one of these important ministries.For ministry scheduling and general inquiries,
please contact Julie Myer at [email protected].
Greeters & UshersGreeters offer a warm welcome to parishioners and visitors, helping everyone feel at home in our churches. Ushers assist with seating before Mass, direct the congregation during Communion, help prepare the worship space for larger celebrations, and tidy the church after Mass. These ministries also provide opportunities for youth to participate in parish life.
