“…the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all her power flows.” -- Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy 10

Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Ushers, Greeters, and Music Ministers are all very important in our celebration of the Mass as a community of believers. The people in these ministries assist those gathered to worship together in a meaningful way. Training sessions are required for all Eucharistic Ministers and recommended for all Lectors. Trainings for these two ministries, as well as ongoing enrichment sessions for all liturgical ministers, are provided through our Vicariate Ministry Commissions.
