EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS TO THE HOMEBOUND/NURSING HOME
We have a small team of Eucharistic ministers who regularly visit those who are homebound and some of the local nursing homes to bring Communion and provide pastoral care. If you would like to minister to the homebound and nursing home residents, we would be glad to add you to this team.
FAMILY LIFE MINISTRY
The Ministry is being revived after being dormant for several years. It will be responsible for planning events for our families, including fun activities, parent formation nights and service projects
THE DISCIPLES OF HOSPITALITY
The Disciples of Hospitality is our collaborative's social life ministry. They plan and staff the Fellowship Hours after Mass, organize other social events during the course of the year. They are also our go-to team for any of our other volunteer needs, such as decorating the churches.
New members are always welcome- contact the Director of Ministries for info.

You do not have to read music. You do not have to have experience. You do not have to audition. If you sing along from the congregation on Sundays then you are qualified!
Rehearsals will begin on Thursday nights in September.

ALTAR SERVERS
Altar servers assist the priest in celebrating Mass. Any child in grade 3 or higher is welcome as are any adults who would like to serve in this role. Contact the Director of Ministries for more info and to sign up.
EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
Offer the Eucharist to parishioners during weekend Mass. Eucharistic Ministers must be weekly worshiping Roman Catholics with a special devotion to the Catholic Church and the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. We ask that you complete a short period of instruction. Please call the office at (508) 378-4207 for more info.
Lectors
Through Baptism, Confirmation and weekly worship at Mass we are all called to be witnesses of God's word in the world. Lectors do this in a special way by entering into an intimate relationship with the sacred texts central to the worship life of the community. Drawing closer to our God who speaks through the Scriptures is an invitation this ministry offers to you. Duties are to read God's word during assigned weekend liturgies. We ask that you complete a short period of instruction. Please call the office at (508) 378-4207 for more info.
GREETERS AND USHERS
Greeters welcome people into the church, while ushers take up the weekly offertory collections. Please call the office at (508) 378-4207 to volunteer.
DIRECTOR OF MINISTRIES
"Hello everyone! My name is Matt Brady and I am very excited to be joining you as the new Director of Ministries. I have a master's degree in theology from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and an undergraduate degree from Salve Regina University. I spent the past three years at St. Denis in Westwood, where I led a revitalization of their faith formation program and family ministry and helped guide the parish through Covid.
I am looking forward to working with all of you, especially the families, to grow and strengthen our Together in Christ Collaborative."
