Volunteering Opportunities
Romans 12:4–6 ...we, though many, are one body...
4 For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do
not have the same function,
5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ and individually
parts of one another.
6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us,
let us exercise them.
Music Ministry
The music ministry encourages the congregation's "full, conscious and active participation" in the
liturgical life of the church, especially as it pertains to music. We work to create a
holy environment in which all recognize the real presence of Christ, in the proclamation of the Word,
and in the Eucharist. Music aids in the spiritual life of the faithful and can foster a spirit of
reverence.
Our music ministry invites all members of the congregation to bring their musical gifts to
the faith community. Our opportunities include:
- A choir that participates at each Mass
- Occasional solo opportunities for hymns of reflection and Marian adoration
- Instrumentaists to accompany our choir
- Classical Pianist, as this is the primary instumental voice of the choir
We invite you to join this vibrant and exciting part of our campus ministry.
For more information, contact Mrs. Lisa Koons (Lisa Koons@verizon.net), Director of Catholic Music Ministry.
Lector at Mass
A lector is the person who proclaims the first or second reading at Mass.
This person also may lead the Prayers of the Faithful at Mass. Please contact
Father Krivak if you are interested in
lectoring at Mass.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
The ministry of extraordinary ministers of the Holy Eucharist is open to both religious
and lay men and women, eighteen years of age or older.
General Instruction for the Roman Missal
162. The priest may be assisted in the distribution of Communion by other priests who
happen to be present. If such priests are not present and there is a very large number of
communicants, the priest may call upon extraordinary ministers to assist him, e.g., duly
instituted acolytes or even other faithful who have been deputed for this purpose. In case of
necessity, the priest may depute suitable faithful for this single occasion.
These ministers should not approach the altar before the priest has received Communion, and
they are always to receive from the hands of the priest celebrant the vessel containing either
species of the Most Holy Eucharist for distribution to the faithful.
Please contact Father Krivak if you are interested learning how to
become an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.
