St. Vincent de Paul Society
The true worth of a society can be measured by the care it takes for the least of its members. St. Vincent de Paul Society is concerned with ministry to the least of our sisters and brothers in Christ.
If you have a compassion for others, a desire to combat hunger, homelessness, and poverty, consider becoming a Vincentian.
FOR IT IS IN GIVING THAT WE RECEIVE
~ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI
Servers assist at Saturday and Sunday masses and as needed for other liturgies.
CANTORS & ACCOMPANISTS
If you have a musical ability - singing or playing an instrument - we would love to hear from you!
Cantors help the congregation to worship in song at all weekend masses and special liturgies. Accompanists (on organ, piano or guitar) meet to practice with cantors, who are scheduled as little or as often as they wish. You can participate as a soloist or in small groups.
care ministry
Care Ministry is a one-on-one lay pastoral care program that responds to a variety of parish pastoral needs. Care Ministers actively bring the love of God into people's lives by providing supportive care to those who are ill, home bound or in residential facilities, as well as those who face crises, trauma, loss, or personal dilemmas. As part of our bereavement ministry, we also reach out to those who have recently lost a loved one.
Children's Scripture
Help children experience the Liturgy of the Word in a version they can easily understand. During the 9:30 a.m. Sunday mass, children gather in the Mother's Room to listen to the Word of God, sing and pray.

The sole obligation of membership is the weekly recitation of 15 decades of the Rosary, and to include thousands of members throughout the world in their intentions.
Members, their families and guests are invited to attend monthly meetings held 6:30 pm in church on the third Tuesday of the month.
Our annual Solemn Enrollment Ceremony is celebrated on the third Tuesday of October.
Eucharistic Ministers
This ministry affords the opportunity to share in the Liturgy in a very special way. By becoming a Eucharistic Minister, we are better able to recognize the Lord in the people being served and in the very action of serving.
Eucharistic Ministers assist in distributing the Eucharist at all masses on weekends and Holy Days. Training is provided, and no monthly meetings are necessary! You may designate your mass preference times, switch times with others if that becomes necessary, and also be provided with a substitute list for backup. Updates and schedules for 4-month intervals are available in the sacristy prior to the schedule taking effect.
Eucharistic Ministers to the Homebound
Volunteers are needed to take the Eucharist to parishioners confined by age or illness to their homes. Each team consists of 4 volunteers with 1 team member per week taking the Eucharist to between 1 and 3 parishioners. Each team member does this once monthly after the weekend Mass of their choice; a weekday may be chosen to fit the volunteer's schedule. Training, including a brief prayer service, is provided for each volunteer. Time commitment depends on whatever conversation the volunteer includes after the brief service.
