MASS MINISTRIES

All are invited to participate more fully in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper by volunteering for one of our mass ministries. Here are some you can join!

DESCRIPTION:

Altar servers are responsible young people who wish to serve at liturgy by assisting the priest at the altar. They are trained and scheduled and perform their role with sincere devotion and reverence.

DESCRIPTION:

The lector is someone who has a love for the Word of God, and has the vocal and feeling capabilities to proclaim that Word in a way that will engage the listening assembly and enhance their understanding of the Scriptures.

If you would like to join this ministry, email the group leader francisjansen@comcast.net. 

DESCRIPTION:

Eucharistic ministers serve our community at the table of the Lord, and in so doing, act as a witness of faith and hope in the love, power and promise of the Holy Eucharist.

If you would like additional information about this group, email st.michaeltravis@gmail.com.

DESCRIPTION:

The sacristans serve by performing such tasks as removing clutter and straightening up the commons, worship space, chapel, and sacristy. Other duties include light cleaning in these areas and checking supplies.

If you would like additional information about this group, email st.michaeltravis@gmail.com.

DESCRIPTION:

Linen helpers are responsible for keeping the linens and vestments for liturgy clean and available at all times. Done at home, this is a “behind the scenes” ministry but is vital to the celebration of the liturgy.

If you would like to lead this ministry, email st.michaeltravis@gmail.com.

CANTORS are the leaders of sung prayer at our liturgies.  Cantors must have a strong singing voice, read music, and be confident singing in front of the assembly.   Cantors assume the responsibility to learn music thoroughly, prepare the psalm spiritually and musically, and provide prayerful leadership to the assembly to encourage their full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgy.

INSTRUMENTALISTS  enhance our worship experience by adding other colors, sounds, and musical lines to assembly singing by playing piano, guitar, flute, harp, violin, viola, cello, clarinet, trumpet, horn, or percussion in ensembles or as soloists.

PARISH CHOIR: If you enjoy singing Soprano, Alto, Tenor, or Bass parts, this is the place for you.  We sing classical sacred music, contemporary Christian, gospel, and all the regular music at our liturgies.
