Liturgical Ministries

EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS

Eucharistic Ministers help distribute the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ during communion. Adults and youth who are confirmed and in good standing with the Catholic Church can share the Eucharist during Mass or take communion to the homebound.

ENVIRONMENT AND ART COMMITTEE

Environment and Art Committee is made up of many people using artistic skills and willing hands to create and maintain a prayerful environment in the church. There are many diverse gifts needed. All are welcome to join.

Contact Lou Anne at the parish office.

MUSIC MINISTRY

Musicians lead the assembly in song and sing the Psalms during liturgy. They rehearse weekly before Mass. We welcome cantors, pianists, organists, other instruments, and choir members.

Choir rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. The choir sings at Sunday liturgies from early fall to late spring, with summers off, including Holy Days and at sacramental liturgies. Choir members and cantors are also invited to sing at funerals throughout the year. This is mostly on weekdays. Contact: Shireen Pascal at spascal@spxmission.org.
