Service For Mass Volunteer Opportunities

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, many volunteer needs are currently on hold until further notice. Current needs are in red.

Altar Server

Altar Servers assist the priest throughout Mass and contribute to the beauty and reverence of the liturgy by serving efficiently, gracefully, and unobtrusively. Students who have finished fourth grade through adults are welcome. Email Fr. Matt for information or training.
 

Baptism Assistant

Can you provide help to the families and priests at baptisms before, during, and immediately following Mass? Training is provided and the time commitment is two hours once per month. Contact Jill with your itnerest.
 

Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion

These ministers are specially commissioned to assist the ordinary ministers, the ordained clergy, in distributing the Body and Blood of Christ to the faithful. Ministers must be practicing Catholics, at least 16 years of age, and have received the Sacrament of Confirmation. EMHC's should be prepared to come forward at any Mass where more ministers are needed. Email Fr. Matt if you can help with this ministry.
 

Funeral Server/Sacristan at Mass

These ministers prepare the materials necessary for the Funeral Mass and work with the parish staff to assure a beautiful time of prayer for the soul of the deceased. In addition to simplified sacristan duties, these ministers often act as altar servers during the Mass. Email Denis if you'd like to serve for funeral Masses.
 

Lector

Lectors proclaim the Word of God to the gathered assembly. They prepare and practice their readings during the week and read in such a way as to disappear before the Word they proclaim. They also lead the congregation in intercessory prayer by proclaiming the Universal Prayer or Prayer of the Faithful (petitions). Email Fr. Matt if you can help with this ministry.
 

Ministry at Care Facilities

Lead the Rosary or assist with weekly morning Masses at local care facilites. For the latter, bring the Mass kit and vestments, and prepare the altar for the priest. Participants must complete necessary background training at the facility and fulfill Archdiocesan requirements.
 

Ministry to Shut-Ins

Take Holy Communion to those unable to attend Mass. Read short scripture passages and pray with recipients. Volunteers must provide their own tranportation and complete Vulnerable Adult training and a background check as required by the Archdiocese.
