Sacristans
The Sacristans comprise a group of parish ministers who devote a few
hours a week of service for the care of the Sanctuary and Sacristy.
Sacristans serve usually one day a week, Monday through Saturday,
following the 8:45 am Mass.
The duties of the sacristans include: replacement of candles, cleaning
and/or filling all of the items used at Mass such as cruets, linens,
etc. dust mopping and vacuuming, dusting and general cleaning.
If this sounds like a ministry in which you would like to be involved,
we would most certainly welcome you.
For more information contact Paul Scavone, at the rectory.

Ushers
Ushers are first and foremost ministers of hospitality and are entrusted
with fostering a sense of welcoming and belonging among those assembled
for Mass. Ushers are challenged to see the face of Christ in each person
as they enter the church for our community prayer.
Ushers, by their very presence, are an example of the Christian love which
binds us together. Ushers greet and seat assembly members as they arrive at
church, take up the collection, direct the assembly at communion time, and
greet people again as they leave the church. There is opportunity for a small
number of ushers to just take up the collection, as we need more people for
this one task than the other duties. Ushers are also involved with any special
happenings at liturgies and in assisting assembly members with any special needs.
Ushers usually serve the same time Mass each weekend.
For more information stop by the usher’s desk in the
vestibule of the church after weekend Mass or contact Paul Scavone, at the rectory.
