Parish Ministries
The Sacrifice of the Eucharist is the central act of worship of the Catholic Church. The "Mass" is a late form of missio (sending), from which the faithful are sent to put into practice what they have learned and use the graces they have received in the Eucharistic liturgy.
The mass is the most central part of the Catholic faith that gives us the grace to live a truly Christian life. Assisting in the mass can be one of the most rewarding ministries because it helps everyone in our community live a Christ centered life.
Liturgical Ministries

You are responsible for assisting the priest during Mass. You will have a very active role in the mass and add the the beauty of our liturgy!

You would proclaim the 1st or 2nd reading and prayers of the faithful at our masses in one of the many spoken languages of our parish (Hmong, Lao, Karen, Karenni, Spanish, English, Burmese).

You help the priest give the people of the congregation the body and blood of Christ.

Musician
As a musician, you can share your gifts to help our entire community worship God in song.

You are the first interaction many people have in the church. You are responsible for greeting people, helping them find a seat if the church is full and giving them the missal with readings for the mass.
Other Parish Minstries
Catechist
Help teach our children the Catholic faith. As a catechist, you will be in charge of or assist one of our faith formation classes that meets a few times a month. You should have a strong understanding of our faith, but if you don't yet, you can assist a class and this can help you grow in your faith as well.
Carpool Ministry
Many people do no have reliable transportation and would come to Sunday Mass if they had a way of getting here. If you drive to Mass, consider signing up to Carpool Ministry. As we find people who need rides, we can introduce you to the person who needs a ride. We will try to assign a person who lives near you or on the way from your house to church.
