Worship Team

Do you ever wish you could be a Lector at Mass?

• The role of the Lector is to proclaim the Word of God in the Sacred Scriptures during the Liturgy of the Word at Mass. Effective proclamation involves the delivery of the message with clarity, conviction, and an appropriate pace. Proclamation is a special ministry that presupposes faith and rouses faith in those who proclaim the Word of God.  In the act of communal listening, the worshipers experience not only unity among themselves but also the presence of Christ speaking to them through the Word. This is excellent stewardship of your time and talent for the parish if you are looking for an easy way to get involved. Simple training takes place prior to serving at a Liturgy, and you will be scheduled based on availability.

Who is an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist?

A Catholic layperson who has received the sacraments of initiation--Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, and if married, a valid sacramental marriage. A person who is willing to commit to serving in one of the most important offices in the Church. By prayerfully responding to God’s love and call, Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors are to be visible signs of faith, hope and love to all parishioners.

An Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist
Does your love for the Eucharist include a desire to distribute Communion at Mass or take Eucharist to hospitals, nursing homes, or the homebound? Would you like to become more active in your parish liturgy by distributing Communion as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist? Do you wonder what is required to become an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist? A special minister of the Eucharist primarily and sincerely believes in Christ’s Eucharistic presence and profoundly appreciates the divine gift shared in ministry. The Eucharist is a sacrifice, thanksgiving, praise, nourishment, healing, giving, and receiving. It encapsulates our faith in Jesus’ saving acts through his life, death, and resurrection. An extraordinary minister of the Eucharist, in giving Christ to the communicant, witnesses Christ’s love.

• Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are lay people who administer Holy Communion to the faithful during the Liturgy. A willingness to minister in this capacity reflects not only a response to our Baptismal call to serve the people of God but shows reverence and respect for the Sacred Body & Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  This minister recognizes the Body of Christ in those to whom the Eucharist is offered and fully participates in the life of the parish and the broader community through this ministry.
