The Liturgical ministries provide opportunities to participate more fully
in the celebration of the mass, which is central to our Catholic faith
and spiritual lives. All parishioners are encouraged to consider one of
the many liturgical ministries. Every weekend over 50 people are
required to fill all the ministries needed by our liturgies. Ordinary
parishioners do these ministries – one need not be perfect. God does
not call the ones who are fit, but fits the ones who are called. Say
yes, and experience the grace of God's work within you.
