LECTORS
Lectors, also called “Proclaimers of the Word”, assist at Mass by proclaiming God's word. When the Deacon is not present they  also read the Universal Prayer.

EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
Eucharistic Ministers assist at Mass by distributing the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ to parishioners.  Eucharistic Ministers must be fully initiated members of the Church. They must also receive  a mandate from the Diocese.

MINISTERS OF CARE
Ministers of Care bring the Word, prayer and Eucharist to fellow parishioners who are home bound, or in the hospital and unable to attend Mass. They receive additional training to do this important ministry.

ALTAR SERVERS
Altar Servers in Grades 3-12 assist at Mass by carrying the cross in procession, holding the book for the priest when he prays at the presidential chair, and during the preparation of the gifts at the altar.

GREETERS/USHERS
Greeters and Ushers are ministers of hospitality and welcome the faithful as they come to celebrate Sunday Mass. They also help seat people, take up the collection, and distribute the Bulletin.
 

Parishioners who are interested in serving as a Lector, Eucharistic Minister, Minister of Care, Greeter/Usher, or have children interested in being altar servers, should contact the Liturgy Office at 732-356-4405.
