Referred to as EMs, Eucharistic Ministers aid with the distribution of Communion during Mass and to the sick/homebound. EMs must be Catholics in good-standing (received all three Sacraments of Initiation and live as the Church teaches). EMs are required to renew their training every 3 years. We hold trainings once a quarter.
For information on the next Eucharistic Minister training to join either the EMs that serve at Mass or the homebound ministry, contact the parish office or watch the bulletin.
Youth altar servers assist at weekend Masses and at weddings and other special liturgies. All parishioners who are young gentlemen and ladies in the 3rd grade and higher who have received their first communion are welcome to become a part of this ministry.
Altar Server formations are offered in the Fall and Spring. Watch the parish bulletin and social media for announcements about upcoming trainings.

Sacristans open the church and prepare the chapel or church for Mass. They also keep track of and order hosts, wine, candles etc. as needed and ensure all ministers (lectors, altar servers, etc.) have checked in.
Lectors proclaim the Word of God at the Mass in a clear, persuasive way and with interpretive emphasis so that the faithful may discover anew God’s Word, alive in our assembly.
