Do you have an interest in audio and video production? Training is provided, and we want to always improve on delivering Godʻs message not only to the church attendees but also to the community.

Music
"Sing to God, Sing Praises to His Name"
The music ministry participates directly in the 10:15 am Mass and for special services. It is our intention to supplement and enhance the service while offering praise to Our Lord. We, in the music ministry, see song as another form of prayer.
We hope that, with the Lordʻs help, our songs create a spirit of praise and thanksgiving with both traditional and contemporary music during worship. And, if we have helped you to feel a little closer to Our Lord, then weʻve been on the right path.

Lectors
Lectors read aloud the First and Second readings and lead the reading of the Psalm during Mass. Those called to this ministry need to have a strong voice that carries, and must be able to read scripture aloud to the congregation. Lectors may be called to read at special services and other events.

Ushers
The usherʻs first duty prior to Mass is to greet people and disburse weekly bulletins and announcement pages. Often ushers are the first faces newcomers see as they enter the church, so a warm, welcoming smile is required! During the offertory, ushers collect the offering and present it to the ministers. During Holy Eucharist the ushers help to direct the congregation to the altar rail.
