Among the liturgical ministry opportunities offered at the Catholic Center are the following
Lectors: These men and women proclaim the words of Holy Scripture to the gathered assembly. It takes more than mere literacy to be a good lector. One must also develop his or her skills in public speaking and proclamation. One must possess a deep love of Sacred Scripture and be willing to break open the Word before one's brothers and sisters at Mass. Part of the ministry development of lectors should include weekly practice in proclaiming the sacred text. Training is usually held in September; watch for the training dates. Contact [email protected] for more information.
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist & Eucharistic Ministers to the Sick and Homebound: Extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist assist the priest in offering the sacred body and precious blood of Jesus in the sacrament of Holy Communion. A love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and a profound respect for the sacredness of this ministry are necessary for anyone desiring to serve as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist. Training is usually held in September; watch for the training dates. Contact [email protected] for more information.
Mass Coordinators: These ministers assist the priest and the liturgist before, during and after the celebration of the liturgy. Mass coordinators arrive early and set up the altar, among other duties. For more information, contact [email protected]
Ushers: An usher serves two distinct roles - hospitality and supervision of the assembly. They greet the faithful as they arrive, assist in seating and the offertory procession, take up the collection, offer emergency assistance as needed and distribute the bulletin following Mass.
Audio / Visual: An Audio/Visual volunteer helps us with lyric slides and with the livestream. This service goes a long way in our community as it fosters an active participation among our community members at mass and also allows our homebound to tune into our liturgy. Consider volunteering!
