EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
Barbara Lindskold
Volunteers Needed
This ministry is open to fully initiated Catholics who have a deep love for the Eucharist and who realize each member of the worshiping
community is to be Eucharist to each other and to the world.
Call Barbara at 623-935-2151 if you are interested in volunteering.
Eucharistic Ministers present
the Body and Blood of Christ to those who approach for Holy communion.
Their presence and prayerful preparation deepen the experience of the
mystery of Christ present in this sacrament. Training sessions for Eucharistic Ministers
is provided.
MINISTERS OF THE WORD
Dianne Robinson
Ministers of the word
proclaim the Word of God to the assembled community at all liturgies.
By prayerful preparation for this ministry, they strive to engage the
assembly in a living experience of the Word of God., and of the presence
of Christ in each celebration.
SACRISTANS
Jahn Tromley
Sacristans are trained as
Ministers of the Eucharist, and then extend their service to include
setting up the vessels, hosts, and wine needed for each Mass as well as
cleaning and putting vessels away. In addition, the sacristan oversees
the sign-in process for all ministers and fills any last minute
ministerial vacancies at each Mass. This service assures the dignity
and completeness of each liturgical celebration
ALTAR SERVERS
Altar Servers assist the
Presider during Sunday, Holy Days, and seasonal Liturgies. They help
the Presider by lighting the candles, holding the Sacramentary, placing
vessels on the altar, etc. Their prayerful presence adds reverence and
dignity to each celebration of the Mass through their listening, praying
and singing. This ministry is open to boys and girls who have received
their First Eucharistic. Training is provided.
MINISTERS OF HOSPITALITY
Romy Perez
Ushers and Greeters offer a
warm, friendly greeting to those arriving for Mass. Greeters extend the
Christian community’s hospitality to welcome all parishioners, visitors
and new comers. Ushers assist in seating parishioners, gathering the
weekly offering, facilitating the Communion Procession, and other needs
of the members of the assembly as they arise. Training is provided.
CHOIR
Matthew Sprinkle – 935-2151
The choir consists of persons
whose musical abilities range from the simple carrying of a tune to
those with accomplished music reading and singing skills. The choir is
thus an image of the Church itself, in which there are many different
gifts which come from and serve the Spirit of god. Choir members
continually build their musical and vocal skills, learning from each
other in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. There is no age limit on
choir membership. Remember singing is praying twice.
INSTRUMENTALISTS
Matthew Sprinkle - 935-2151
By playing various
instruments with skill and care, musicians can enhance the beauty of the
music of the assembly. Such ministry requires a reasonable high level
of musical proficiency, along with a personal commitment to prayer and
worship. There is always room for these musicians in the parish
liturgy.
