Prayer and Worship

LITURIGAL MINISTERS
Lectors
proclaim the Word of God.  Eucharistic Ministers are appointed to distribute Communion at Mass, to the homebound and to hospital patients.    Hospitality team members greet the people before Mass, take up the collection, and distribute church bulletins at the end of the liturgy. Acolytes are trained to assist at Mass.

MUSIC MINISTRY
Under the direction of our parish music director, volunteers offer their talens to enhance our parish worship.  Cantors, instrumentalists, and choir members rehearse regularly.

CHURCH DECORATIONS
Volunteers provide for decorations in the church to highlight the various liturgical seasons.  They also prepare the sanctuary for special celebrations.

WEDDING REHEARSALS
In conjunction with the music ministry, a committee provides workshops for the couples to offer information about music and options they have in planning their ceremony.  This committee conducts rehearsals for all parish weddings.

COMMUNION SERVICE
In the absence of a priest, trained volunteers conduct a liturgical service to offer an opportunity for community prayer in lieu of the Eucharist.

COMMUNION TO THE HOMEBOUND
This committee brings Communion to those who are sick or confined to their homes.   They also bring communion to the residents of Bishop Hubbard Apartments.
