altar servers
Altar servers assist the priests and deacons at all Sunday Masses, First Communions and Confirmations. Students in grades 4 and up are encouraged to inquire on how they can serve at the altar. Being an altar server is a great service to the Church. It helps you grow in skill and confidence, and it is a very important ministry that involves commitment. It’s also lots of fun because you belong to a special team!

Ushers
Ushers are the first people parishioners and visitors meet upon entering the church. Ushers provide assistance at Sunday Masses and other special liturgical celebrations. Ushers are greeters, they guide people to their seats, distribute materials and information and take up the collection.
