Liturgy & Music

LITURGY

“The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; it is also the fount from which all her power flows.”
--The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy: Ch. I, no. 10

LITURGICAL MINISTERS

Altar Servers

Servers carry the cross, candles, thurible, and boat, and they incense the congregation. They assist the presider or deacon with the Roman Missal, bread, wine, and water.

Eucharistic Ministers

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion assist the priest in the distribution of the Precious Body and Blood of Christ to the people of the parish. They serve at the weekend and daily liturgies, at convalescent homes, at Tri-City Hospital, and in other settings.

Hospitality Ministers

Hospitality Ministers greet and assist the congregation before, during, and after each Mass, welcoming all to our church home and to our table each week.

Readers

Readers bring the living word of God to the assembled faith community. When the Scriptures are read in Church, God himself is speaking to his people.

Sacristans

At Daily Mass, Sacristans prepare and organize all that is necessary for the Liturgies of the Word and Eucharist as well as minister as Altar Servers.
On weekends, Sacristans open the church, set up the Plaza, and prepare the building and our worship space for Mass.
