Sunday Experience

Sunday Experience

The Eucahrist is the source and summit of our Faith. Because of this, we put great importance on the Sunday Experience. We want everyone who comes to our Masses to leave feeling inspired and enlivend to spread the Good News of the Gospel - the saving power of Jesus Christ. Become a part of this important team of volunteers!

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."

1 Peter 4:10

Hospitality Hosts

Volunteers welcome fellow parishioners, guests and visitors before Masses and help them to a seat. They also gather collections, guide communion, distribute bulletins and handle emergencies. This is one of the most important ministries to help make our parish a warm and welcoming place that everyone can call home.

Lectors

Lectors make announcements, read the prayers of the faithful, and proclaim the Word of God during the Mass.

Altar Servers

Children who have received First Holy Communion (typically 3rd grade and above) assist the priest during the Mass.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Lay ministers distribute the Eucharist at liturgies and local nursing homes. 

Music Ministry

Parishioners of all ages are invited to enhance the liturgy through their musical gifts at each of our three churches. Vocalists and musicians are invited to participate in any of our choirs.  If you are interested, contact our Music Director Patrick Watterson at
