areas of opportunity:

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ distribute the precious Body and Blood of Christ at Sunday and Holy Day liturgies. It requires reverence and an understanding of the sacredness of this ministry. The Eucharist must be important in my life. To distribute Holy Communion one must be properly trained and commissioned by an SJA priest.

Lectionary Reader

Readers are men and women who proclaim the Word of God by reading the First and Second Readings at the Sunday and Holy Day liturgies. This requires training in projecting one’s voice with confidence and proclaiming the Scripture clearly and distinctly.

Sacristan

Sacristans are individuals who help prepare the bread, wine, and necessary items before and after Sunday, Holy Day, and funeral liturgies. We provide training.

Altar Server

Servers are boys and girls grade four and older who assist at the altar during Sunday and Holy Day liturgies. There are also opportunities to serve at the SACS school Mass and funerals. This position requires training and reverence for what happens during the liturgy.

Usher / Greeter

Ushers are men and women who greet and seat people as they enter the church, monitor the needs of the assembly, assist with the collection, and distribute materials at the end of the liturgy. This opportunity requires a friendly, cheerful, and helpful disposition. You are the initial face of our parish as people arrive.
