» LITURGICAL MINISTERS
We understand that some are not ready or capable of returning to ministry just yet, but we will be unable to open on weekends without sufficient help. Please prayerfully consider your ability to assist us. The following ministries are needed at each weekend Mass:
GREETERS welcome upon arrival and facilitate exiting.
One greeter are needed for each Mass.
USHERS seat attendees and facilitate reception of Communion.
Two ushers are needed for each Mass.
BOTH GREETERS & USHERS will also assist with sanitizing the church at the conclusion of each gathering.
LECTORS will maintain normal duties with the proclamation of the Word and intentions.
One Lector is needed at each Mass.
SACRISTANS will maintain normal duties before and after Mass.
One Sacristan is needed at each Mass.
EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION will not be needed at this time. Father will be best assisted by a Sacristan before and after Mass, as opposed to a minister or server during the liturgy. Extraordinary Ministers are encouraged to assist in other capacities, if willing and able.
YOUTH ALTAR SERVERS will not be permitted to volunteer at this time.
Please notify us of your willingness to serve in any of these capacities by filling out the availability form HERE or by contacting the Parish Office at 570-322-5935. The greatest need is for Ushers and Greeters.
