The purpose of the ministry is to create an atmosphere with the liturgical space that invites and inspires the assembly to full and conscious participation in the paschal mystery in keeping with the seasons of the liturgical year.

The Art & Environment committee - "Lilies of the Valley", is responsible for arranging the seasonal decorations and the plants that are in the church throughout the year.  This committee is made up of parishioners who meet weekly to ensure that church flowers arrangements are fresh and up to date with the liturgy of the upcoming Masses.

Lectors are commissioned by the pastor to proclaim the Word in our liturgical worship. 

This Ministry is open to fully participating Catholics who have a deep love for the Holy Scripture and for the listening assembly. Newcomers are welcomed. Training is provided.

Choir/Cantor/Instrumentalist

Liturgy and prayer are parish priorities. Music is an essential component of good liturgy. Members bring their musical talent to lead the community in prayer. Instrumentalists and singers of all ages and abilities are welcome to join.

This ministry is open to men and women who want to interact with parishioners by greeting them as they come to church. They are also in charge of collecting the treasure offerings after the homily. The head usher is responsible for asking parishioners to take the offering of bread and wine to the altar. Ushers also help parishioners find a seat at Mass.
