Liturgical Ministries

Volunteers in the liturgical ministries serve God and the parish by assisting in various capacities related to the Holy Mass or other liturgies.

Altar Servers

Youth who have received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion and assist during the celebration of the Mass and at other parish liturgies.

Altar Society

These volunteers spend about two hours, twice a month, cleaning and vacuuming the altar area, shrines and occasionally the pews. We also have volunteers who take home our altar linens and albs and launder them. Additional volunteers are needed in all areas.

For more information, please call the parish office at 602-867-9171.
