Stewardship Call for Liturgical Ministers
Why not start out the new year by becoming more involved in our weekend liturgies? We encourage you to consider offering your stewardship service at Mass on weekends and holy days throughout the year. This is a wonderful way for parents to give their children a visible example of stewardship in action.
A spiritual foundation and practical training are provided for all new liturgical ministers. Our scheduling program is family-friendly: it allows for excluding in advance block-out dates for vacations or other personal commitments. Families with multiple ministers can be at the same Mass and one parent can be scheduled at a time so that the other is free to care for the children.
At this time, we are especially looking for new stewardship volunteers to serve as ushers, as greeters and hospitality booth staffers, as extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion and as adult leaders for the Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW).
Note that anyone who would like to serve as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion must be at least 18 years old and have graduated from high school. Lectors must be at least 16 years old. Teenagers make great ushers, greeters, lectors and CLOW aides, too!
If you have served as a liturgical minister in the past and are ready to take up another form of service at this time, we can surely use your help. Please note that it is often difficult to enlist a full team of liturgical ministers for the 11:30 AM Mass on Sunday mornings.
