Liturgical Ministers/Schedules 

At Mass

Then will I go to the Altar of God,
the God of my gladness and joy.

Altar Servers

The parish is inviting people to join the Altar Server Ministry. This ministry is now open to any person in the fifth grade through adulthood. The ministry is no longer restricted to school-aged children. Perhaps parents would like to serve at the altar with their children. Applications for service are available in the brochure racks of the Church, on the parish and school websites, or directly from our school and religious education teachers. Once applications are received training sessions will be scheduled. Please respond at your earliest convenience.  Click HERE for application!

Ushers & Greeters

Greeters are those who present a welcoming response and inviting atmosphere to those who attend and discern the needs of those who come for our Masses. Ushers greet those as they enter our worship area and assist in their seating needs. They are involved in the collection and distribution of Communion.
