No Matter how our lives may twist, turn and overlap,
they all fit together as part of a magnificent whole.  No beginning. No end. Just one of God's creations.

Altar Servers are boys and girls sixth grade through eighth grade that assist the presider at liturgy. Training is provided yearly in October.
 
Children’s Liturgy of the Word at the 8:30 & 10:30 a.m. Masses, our Pastor will ask the children to please come forward. He will speak with the children for a short time and then they are dismissed with the Congregation singing a blessing over them. Children do not need to sign up ahead of time to attend, nor do they need to go every Sunday.
 
Eucharistic Ministers of the Altar prepare the sacred vessels for Communion before Mass, and assist in distributing the consecrated Body and Blood of Christ at Mass. Designated Eucharistic Ministers also purify the sacred vessels after Mass.
 
Ushers welcome the community with a smile as they enter and leave church. They answer questions, seat the community, take up the collection, direct the Communion procession, and assist where needed.
 
Lectors proclaim the Word of God at liturgical celebrations as well as read the petitions and announcements. This ministry requires a person with a good speaking voice who reads with life, energy, intelligence and enthusiasm.
 
Music Ministry is open to all Parishioners who can carry a tune and are willing to serve. If you can read music and play an instrument, so much the better!
