PARISH NEWS
CALLED TO SERVE: SHARE YOUR GIFTS AT MASS
Our parish needs YOU!
The celebration of the Holy Mass is the heart of our parish community, and each of us has a special role to play in making our liturgies prayerful, beautiful, and welcoming. We are inviting parishioners and school families to prayerfully consider serving as Lectors or Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.
As a lector, you have the privilege of proclaiming God's Word and helping others encounter Christ through Sacred Scripture. As an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, you have the beautiful opportunity to assist in sharing the Eucharist with your fellow parishioners. Training and guidance will be provided, and scheduling can accommodate your availability. Those interested in serving must meet the Church's requirements for the ministry.
Our parish is strongest when we all share our gifts! If you are looking for a meaningful way to become more involved in parish life, we encourage you to answer the call.
Could God be calling you to serve?
