LITURGICAL MINISTRY

All of our Sacramental celebrations, including the Mass, are coordinated by the Pastor. Volunteers are needed to assist with various functions and activities which enhance our Faith by providing spiritually enriching celebrations for our community.

Altar Servers: The servers lead the procession to the altar at the beginning of Mass, assist the Priest at the altar at several points during the Mass, and lead the recessional at the end of Mass.
Contacts: Russ Wisler (training), John Curtis (scheduling), and
Amy Flagg (care of robes)

Arts & Environment: Volunteers work with church decor and live plants to enhance the worship space, commons area and chapel throughout the Liturgical year.
Contact: Helen Smith

Baptism Preparation Team: Adults assist at the Baptism preparation classes (required of parents) and at the celebration of the Sacrament at Mass. Baptism preparation classes are held after Mass on Sunday several weeks prior to the Baptism. The time commitment for team members includes attending team meetings, assisting at preparation classes, and serving at baptismal liturgies.
