We are in need of more volunteers to serve as Liturgical Ministers. Please help if you can.
A Liturgical Minister is simply being involved with or assisting with the Mass.
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Alyssa Hartley or the parish office.
Below are several ways you can use your gifts and talents to bring more beauty to the Mass.
Lectors
A person who has a love of God's word and chooses to proclaim it publicly exercises the role of a lector. That person then meets with the ministry coordinator for instruction and orientation. The lector begins serving by a prepared weekend schedule, and by rotation on a voluntary basis for Holy Days, prayer services, Holy Week, etc.
This ministry involves the lector with two important tools, the Bible and the Workbook for Lectors and Gospel Readers. It is through a lector's love and understanding of God's Word that the proclamation of faith community comes alive.
Extraordinary Ministers
Music Ministry
Server
The Choir serves as an integral part of the liturgical life of the church. Its primary role is to act as song-leader for the congregation and to contribute to the beauty and sacredness of the Mass.
The choir is made up of volunteers and is open to all members of the parish who enjoy singing.
If you are interested in joining the choir, please email Nancy Herr at nherr5@gmail.com.
At Sacred Heart we welcome altar servers after they have made their First Communion. The servers assist in a variety of ways during the Mass. Contact the parish office if your child is interested in being a server. Training is available for new servers, and we will also place them with a regular server when they are first starting out.
Usher
Ushers are liturgical ministers of hospitality, acting as the welcoming face of the parish while ensuring Mass runs smoothly. They greet parishioners, assist with seating, take up collections, manage the flow of Communion, and handle emergencies.
