"If anyone speaks, let it be as with words of God. If anyone ministers, let it be as from the strength that God furnishes; that in all things God may be honored through Jesus Christ, to whom are the glory and the dominion forever."
1 Peter 4:11
Eucharistic Adoration
Please consider spending some time with the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus every Friday from 9am-9pm.
Adorers are needed! At least two Adorers are needed at each hour in order that we never leave our Lord alone.
Newly-registered parishioners are warmly welcomed to participate in this ministry, and all are encouraged to discover the blessings of Eucharistic Adoration.

Greeters and Ushers
Greeters and Ushers help build an atmosphere of hospitality within the church and reverently provide any assistance or specific direction to those in need prior to, during, and after the liturgy. The commitment is flexible and can serve at the mass of their choosing.

Lectors
Lectors proclaim the Word of God clearly and understandably so that all who hear may respond.
Lectors are scheduled for weekend masses approximately once a month. New lectors are required to attend an initial formation session, which includes practicing public proclamation from the ambo with feedback from fellow lectors.
Lector practice sessions are offered periodically at Church, and allow lectors the chance to tune your skills amongst a group of peers.
