LITURGICAL MINISTRIES

Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
Communion ministers aid the celebrant in distributing the Eucharist to the assembly. They also serve as sacristans, cleaning and setting out the sacred vessels. Those who would take this role must meet certain requirements. Anyone interested in this role should talk with the pastor. Extraordinary ministers and sacristan assignments are scheduled by Lisa Bozdeck, 314-729-0653 or mrsboz29@yahoo.com.

Lectors
Lectors should be qualified and prepared to proclaim the Scripture readings so they come alive to the assembly. They also read the general intercessions and make announcements. Anyone interested in becoming a lector should contact Jo Ann Perkins, 270-3118, jerkinsperkins@netscape.net.

Ushers and Greeters
In mirroring Christ we strive to be inviting and hospitable, meeting the needs of those who join us in worship. We are in the process of organizing this ministry. We welcome men and women who would like to serve the assembly in this way. If you are interested in this service, contact Joe Dunne, jdunne1@mindspring.com.

Music
Music raises our worship to a higher level whether it is instrumental, a single voice, or the voices of the assembly united in song. We welcome instrumentalists of all kinds, cantors who will sing the responsorial psalm and lead the assembly, and adults who would like to join our choir. If you can contribute to our worship in this way contact our Music Director, Linda Breckle, 842-8866.

Education and Formation
This group works to increase the assembly’s understanding of the liturgy, to develop the theme of a season, and to offer opportunities to grow spiritually.

Art and Environment
Our worship is enhanced by its setting. A variety of ministries work toward this end.

Artists, designers, craftspeople and helpers prepare and install banners and other decorations appropriate to the liturgical season. To contribute in this way, contact Joe Dunne, 843-2563

Cleaners, “the heavenly dusters,” meet Fridays after the 7:30 a.m. Mass to prepare the church for our weekend liturgies. All are welcome to join them.
For information or to inquire about serving as a sacristan, contact Doris Mantia, 842-0280.

Gardeners welcome worshipers with seasonal plantings. To contribute in this role, contact Jane Heffernan, 842-3049.
