Lector
A Lector proclaims God's word during Mass. When the scriptures are read, it is as if the book disappears.
The Lector becomes the mouthpiece of God. God uses the voice of the Lector to say something modern, something new, something that applies to the world today. Yes, the words are old, but their proclamation is always new.
A Lector should be able to read clearly, comfortably and with good interpretation of the Scriptures.

Homebound Ministry
Ministers to the Homebound bring the Eucharist to the sick and shut-ins of the Parish. The minister attends Mass first and then brings Holy Communion immediately from the bread and wine consecrated at that Mass to the sick.
Those who are unable to attend the Mass physically are drawn into the mystery of Sunday's gathering by their sharing in the very Holy Communion offered to the faithful at Mass.
Two ministers go out together. They lead a short prayer service in which the Gospel of Sunday is read. The Lord's Prayer is recited, and Holy Communion is given.

Greeter/Usher Ministry
Greeter/Ushers welcome people to worship, tend to their needs, help them find a place when the church is crowded, gather their gifts during the collection, pass out bulletins after Mass and straighten missalets in the pews.
By nature, you are a person who wants to help. You have a deep faith in Christ, a love for the Mass, and a place in the community.
Your desire to serve will help the faithful worship when they arrive at church.
