Ministries

Altar Servers

The Altar Server assists the members of the liturgical assembly by presenting or arranging vessels and other items used in the celebrations. Their reverent and efficient service enables other ministers to attend to their own roles while the liturgical actions unfold with calm, order and appropriate decorum. As members of the assembly who are often visible to all, the altar servers also model good liturgical participation.  Read More

Lectors and Readers

The Lector serves the liturgical assembly by proclaiming Sacred Scripture during the Liturgy of the Word. The competent exercise of this role enables the Church to hear the Word of God more clearly and receive it more readily. They lead the Universal Prayer (Prayer of the Faithful) in the absence of the deacon. Lectors are commissioned by the Pastor or his delegate.  Read More
