Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharistic assist in distributing the Body and Blood of Christ during the celebration of the Mass.  After Mass they purify and clean the sacred vessels and assist the Mass Coordinator in putting them away.  Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist are asked to serve a 2-year renewable commitment and, after initial training, participate in ongoing formation every two years throughout their ministry.

Ushers help create an atmosphere of hospitality through their words and actions, welcoming parishioners and visitors as they gather for worship, and helping guests locate seats and other areas of our church.  They assist with the Offertory and the Sunday collection and distribute bulletins and other materials.

The ministerial role of the Liturgy Committee is three-fold: planning/preparation, evaluation, and education. The committee provides initial and on-going training for all liturgical ministers and also provides liturgical catechesis for all parishioners. This group collaborates on seasonal planning for Sunday worship throughout the liturgical year and plans various sacramental celebrations and other prayer experiences. Committee members continue to educate themselves through reading and attending various seminars and workshops.
