Gift Bearers present the gifts of bread and wine at the altar during Mass.

Greeters welcome people at the doors of church before Mass.

During the Sunday 10:00 Mass, the children are invited to move to a separate room for the Liturgy of the Word. They return to the main assembly for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Ushers are ministers of hospitality at Mass. They assist people in finding seats, moving in the communion lines, and taking up the collection. Anyone high school age or older is welcome to serve in this ministry.
