The heart of a parish is the Eucharist, but the parish family is the body that makes it a unique and vibrant community with an exciting parish life. Our parish offers a variety of ways to be part of that communal family in addition to the celebration of the sacraments. These include liturgical ministries, such as choir member, lector, altar server, and Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist; social justice ministries, such as visiting the homebound, serving the poor, volunteering at food pantries and the St. Vincent de Paul Society; and others, such as youth ministry, men's and women's groups, and the annual parish picnic, to name just a few. God calls us to use our gifts and talents to glorify Him and make life better for other people. Please prayerfully consider these opportunities for getting involved in ministry. And if you have an idea for a new parish ministry, please contact us.
Altar Servers assist the priests and deacons during the celebration of Holy Mass and other liturgical ceremonies. As members of the assembly, they are active participants - singing, praying, and keeping silence together with the congregation.
The Altar Server Ministry is open to boys and girls. Altar Servers are fully initiated Catholics who have received the Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist. The recommended minimum age at our parish is around 8 1/2 years old. Many of our parish servers continue to serve until they graduate from high-school. Server Alumni (youth who continuously served until their high school graduation) are welcome to serve when available.
