Liturgical Ministries:
| Sub-group | About |
| Altar Servers | Both children and adults have an opportunity to be Altar servers. This could be a great family ministry. |
| Sacristans | If you have a respect for others, use discretion and appropriate decorum, and are noted for care to the assembly, you may be someone who should be a Sacristan. |
| Choir | If you like to sing, consider joining the choir. You do not need to read music. |
| Ushers/Greeters | Ushers and Greeters help create a welcoming environment and make people feel important. |
| Lectors | Being a lector is a meaningful way to actively participate in the liturgy by proclaiming the Word of God; essentially you are acting as a "voice of God" for those at Mass |
| Eucharistic Ministers | A Eucharistic Minister is a great way to draw strength from the faithful, grow in devotion, give back to the parish, and aides in our personal desire to become more like Christ's body and blood. |
