Participation in the Mass is at the heart of Catholic life. Through the Eucharist, Scripture, music, and prayer, we are formed as the Body of Christ—strengthened within our parish community and sent out to serve the world.
Liturgical ministry is one way parishioners live out their baptismal call to be Christ to others. Whether serving in the sanctuary, proclaiming the Word, assisting with hospitality, or supporting prayerful worship, each ministry plays an essential role in the life of the Church.
