Eucharistic Minister
Eucharistic Ministers assist in the distribution of
communion at all masses. They serve a certain number of
times per month, as well as for special feasts during the
liturgical year. Training is provided.
Lector
A lector brings God's Word to life in the midst of the
assembly. A lector should love, pray and study the
scriptures. Beyond having a strong, clear voice, the ability
to speak with ease and conviction and good interpretive
skills, a lector must make deliberate and careful
preparation of the scriptures. Training and materials are
provided. Lectors are scheduled approximately every other
month.
Altar Server
The altar server assists the presider and enables the
liturgy to proceed smoothly. Young people, grades 5 and up
may volunteer. Servers are responsible for keeping their
commitment when scheduled. Training sessions are announced
periodically in the bulletin.
