Readers: Our readers proclaim the Word of God in our parish
liturgies, so that all may hear and respond to God's message of
love. Two readers are assigned to each weekend/holiday liturgy for
one month at a time. A new schedule is mailed monthly with names
of other readers. Adults and high school students are encouraged
to volunteer.
Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion: These ministers are trained members
of the parish who distribute Holy Communion at the weekend Masses.
They are assigned for a month at a time and new assignments are
made monthly.
Ushers: Ushers for St. Mary's are also assigned for liturgies
for a month at a time and new assignments are made monthly. They
help by welcoming those who come to worship, assisting them to be
seated, receiving the offering of monetary support, directing communicants
to the altar, distributing the parish bulletin, and being available
to deal with emergencies, which may arise during the liturgy. All
adults, men and women, are encouraged to volunteer for the liturgy
and high school students may also wish to volunteer.
Mass Servers: Boys and girls may sign up to be a Mass Server
after they have received the Sacrament of First Communion. Servers
should choose a Mass time convenient of the family and they will
be assigned to serve for a month at a time.
Master of Ceremonies: The MC guides and directs
the Liturgy assuring that all ministers carry out their assigned
functions. They assist the priest(s) and deacon(s) allowing them
to focus on prayer. Larry Carl schedules the MC’s, contact Larry at 255-4749 if you wish to volunteer.
