  • Liturgical ministry is a wonderful opportunity to fulfill your baptismal call of service to one another. Our liturgies utilize the talents and gifts that God has given this parish community. Whether participation is through “behind the scenes” preparation and planning or through a public role of service within the Mass, parishioner contributions help our liturgies to be truly life-giving celebrations. Please prayerfully consider joining one of these ministries.

    If you would like to learn more or participate in a liturgical ministry, please speak to one of our parish priests or contact:
