Eucharistic Minister
The Eucharistic celebration is the "source and summit" of our belief and practice as Roman Catholic Christians. We encourage those who feel the call and reverence of the Eucharist to consider assisting the priest and serving the community as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist. Eucharistic ministry is open to all confirmed (Sr. High - Adult) members of the Church. A brief training and orientation are provided. "We are many parts, we are all one Body. And the gifts we have, we are given to share."
Hospitality (Usher/Greeter)
Hospitality is the root of all Christian Ministry. Our worship place is truly a "home" for our community of faith. Volunteers gifted with a warm, welcoming personality are desired to greet our families into our worship home, and to assist and provide hospitable services as needed. A great way to meet people and help build community! Hospitality service is open to all individuals (Youth - Adult) and families. Training and orientation are provided.
