Liturgy &amp; Sacristy

Lectors are parishioners of the Most Holy Trinity who proclaim the Word at Mass.

Training and preparation are necessary for those persons wishing to be Lectors. Proclaiming the Sacred Scripture is different from other kinds of public speaking. Not only do lectors need to be effective communicators, but they need to absorb and express the spirit of the Liturgy as well. Annual training sessions are required.

Speaking of readers at the Liturgy, Vatican II said, "They excercise a genuine liturgical function. They ought, therefore, to discharge their office with the sincere piety and decorum demanded by so exalted a ministry and right expected of them by God's people. Consequently, they must all be trained to perform their functions in a correct and orderly manner... Christ is present in His word since it is He Himself who speaks when the Holy Scriptures are read in the church."

Ushers

Ushers have a variety of responsibilities at Masses. They welcome everyone, help persons with special needs, take the collection and distribute bulletins. For additional information call the church office.

Altar Servers assist at the altar at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and other liturgies with a variety of responsibilities. In addition to the grace received by serving Our Lord, they benefit from the fraternity and the chance to explore the possibility of their own priestly vocation up close and in a hands-on way. This ministry is open to those who have received their First Holy Communion. Trainings take place as necessary, typically a couple times each year.
