Are you being Called to Serve???

Sacristans
Sacristans serve behind the scenes to make sure that everything needed for the celebration of Mass is ready for our priests and the assembly. They open the church, set up the sacred vessels and books for all those serving at the Mass, and guide the altar servers. They also make sure the church is locked after Mass and everything is put away. Sacristans do the legwork to help us all worship

Altar Servers
This ministry provides members of the parish with a true opportunity to function as lay ministers by reverently assisting the celebrant and/or deacon during Sunday Mass and at special liturgies throughout the year.

Lectors
Are you being called to Proclaim the Word of God? Lectors proclaim the Word of God clearly and understandably so that all who hear may respond.


Music Ministry
Music Ministry provides music during weekend Masses, holy days, weddings, funerals and Reconciliation services. Parishioners are invited to share their musical talents with the rest of the congregation through this ministry.


Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
These lay people are sometimes referred to as Eucharistic Ministers. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion serve by assisting the priest in distributing the Eucharist at Mass.  They also may bringing communion to parishioners who reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or in their own homes and unable to get to church.


Ushers/Greeters 
Being a welcoming community is very important to us.  Ushers are the first face of the parish.  They greet those coming into our church, offer assistance to those in need, distribute parish bulletins, take up the collection, and distribute other materials as needed.

Please call Gail at the Pastoral Center at 623-8823 or email at gail.gould@portlanddiocese.org if you can help serve in these ministries.
