Readers are volunteers who serve the Church during the Liturgy of the Word at every Mass. After prayer, study, and practice the Reader’s mission is to proclaim the Word of God to the congregation during the celebration of the Liturgy.

Eucharistic Ministers are volunteers who serve the Church by assisting in the distribution of Communion to members of the congregation during the celebration of the Eucharistic Liturgy. They also go out with the Eucharist to parishioners who are homebound, in hospitals or in health care facilities.

The mission of Altar Servers is to assist the celebrant and worshiping community in the celebration of the Liturgy of the Mass, special Liturgies and celebrations, and the celebration of the sacraments. Altar Servers have an intricate role in the Mass, performing specific actions and setting an example to the congregation by their active participation in the Liturgy.

Altar Servers are student volunteers and attend a brief training session before serving.
