Periodic musician planning and liturgy planning sessions are available for volunteers to attend to offer feedback and have questions answered.
CANTOR
Lead the congregation in worship with song. Most cantors practice on their own and then meet with their musician/pianist 30 minutes before mass to run through things: psalm, acclamation, hymns that need practice, and general troubleshooting. Cantors can work solo or as a duet—harmony is encouraged.
CHOIR + GUITAR
Members of our congregation who love to sing and are willing to commit to regular weekly rehearsal times and singing for Mass are always welcome.
PIANISTS + MUSICIANS
Lead the congregation in worship with piano or accompaniment. Most musicians practice on their own and then meet with their cantor or choir 30 minutes before mass to run through things: psalm, acclamation, hymns that need practice, and general troubleshooting. Musicians are encouraged to talk with other church musicians for tips and things to be aware of. Mentoring is available.
Boys and girls who have completed their first semester of fourth grade are encouraged to become Mass Servers. Attendance at a training session is required. Servers are welcome to join at anytime.
Eucharistic Ministers assist in the distribution of the Eucharist with Bread and/or Cup.
This ministry is open to all confirmed parishioners in good standing. Training and commissioning are offered each year.
Greeters are asked to arrive 20 minutes before Mass begins. Greeters stand at the entrance of the church and welcome people as they enter, while handing out bulletins. This program has been organized to help make both parishioners and visitors feel welcome.
Ushers help welcome, seat, and bring forth the financial offering. Members are welcome to join a team at anytime.
