Announcers welcome the congregation to Mass and state guidelines for reception of the Eucharist from a prepared script. If you are comfortable speaking in front of a group, attend the same Mass on a regular basis, and can arrive 15 minutes early, please consider offering your service to this ministry.

Just as we notice the changes in season in the world around us, the church environment reflects the liturgical season; flowers, wreaths, purple at Advent/Lent, red at Pentecost. Careful attention to the environment helps draw our attention to the celebration of the liturgy.

The Eucharist is the summit toward which all preparations of the lay liturgical ministers have led; when we come together to recognize Jesus, in the breaking of the Bread. Those who distribute the body and blood of Christ should reflect the Church’s belief in the actual, real, and true presence of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Please consider the call to be an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist.

We strive to be a welcoming parish! If you love to meet people, then this is the ministry for you. A smile and a warm “Hello” can do wonders for someone new to the parish or just visiting. Greeters serve approximately once every 4-6 weeks for about 15 minutes before and after Mass.

Everyone looks forward to coffee and donuts and time spent visiting with other parishioners following Mass on Sunday! Why not make it a family affair? Responsibilities of those volunteering for the hospitality ministry include setting up donuts and coffee before Mass, replenishing supplies during fellowship after Mass, and helping with clean up.

Proclaiming the word of God is an honor. Lectors prepare for an assigned Sunday by using a provided Lector Workbook, arrive 15 minutes early for Mass to look over readings, and proclaim the scriptures during Mass.

Ushers guide people into the worship space, collect the offertory, and assure that everything is ready for the celebration of the Mass, the reason we are all there. When everything goes well, people are comfortable and not distracted by environmental issues. Ushers make a significant contribution to our parish community.
