Altar Servers help the priest throughout the celebration, providing reverent example for the rest of the congregation. They carry the processional cross and candles, hold the missal during the opening prayers, assist the priest as he receives the offertory gifts, and wash the priest’s hands as he prepares for communion, as well as maintain the sanctuary by setting up and cleaning up before and after Mass.
If your child is interested, and they have celebrated their First Eucharist and completed 4th grade, we invite them to become a member of our ministry. Adults are also welcome to serve.

Children's Liturgy of the Word gives children the opportunity to hear the Sunday scripture readings proclaimed and explained on a level appropriate to their age once a month during the school year at the 9:00 am Mass.
Before the first reading, children ages four through 5th grade will be invited to gather up front to be escorted down to Keilty Hall by the catechist. Children will listen to an age-appropriate scripture reading and reflect on its meaning through dynamic activities. They will return to the congregation during the collection and preparation of the altar.

Our Liturgy Committee contributes to the experience of our sacred liturgies by planning for and implementing the decor of the church and assisting with logistics appropriate to the various liturgical seasons.

Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and more all have a need for volunteers to help enhance the worship experience through the use of symbols, plants/flowers, and other design elements appropriate for each liturgical season.
Do you have an eye for design? Or a passion for enhancing our worship as a community? If you love decorating and can’t wait to celebrate the next holiday, we would love to have you join us and help with preparing, cleaning, and organizing our inventory of decorations.
