Liturgical Ministries
Extraordinary Ministers of Communion
Eucharistic Ministers are responsible for assisting in the administering of Communion. They typically have a special devotion to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. In consultation with the individual ministers, a Rota is organized for the week-end masses. A number of meetings are held through the year to discuss issues arising from the practice of this ministry.

Two Readers share the responsibility at each Mass on the week-end. Rota as organized in consultation with the wishes of the Readers.

Altar Servers
Altar Servers, boys and girls from post-First Communion to 18 years old, serve in the public liturgy/worship of the Mass. Training is provided. It is considered an honor and a privilege to serve the Lord and His people in this way; it demands a certain maturity on the part of those who aspire to it.
