Music Ministry 

We have an Adult Choir that sings at the 10:00 Mass every Sunday from October through May.    Rehearsals are every other Tuesday from 7:00 - 9:00 pm.  We also have a Resurrection Choir that sings for funerals, requiring availability during the week and on Saturday.

​

Ushers

Serve the congregation by greeting people before Mass, handling inquiries, distributing bulletins, escorting the gift bearers, and seating late comers.  Ushers take up the collections, assure safety and give assistance to ill or handicapped parishioners or visitors.  They also guide the lines of people going to Communion.

​

Gift Bearers

They are the people who bring the bread and the wine to the priest during the offertory at Mass.  The bringing of the bread and wine symbolizes us uniting our own gifts of time, talent and treasure with Jesus' sacrifice of Himself, which is offered for us on the altar.
