In the readings, the table of God’s Word is spread before the faithful, and the treasures of the Bible are opened to them. (GIRM 57)

Ministers of the Word lead in our community by proclaiming Scripture and the Prayers of the Faithful at each Mass. Hearing God's Living Word allows us to reflect and respond. 

Anyone who has been Confirmed is welcome to inquire about becoming a Minister of the Word (sometimes also known as a Lector). Please speak to Father Brian or Father Tom. Training and ongoing formation are provided. Rotating schedules are created several times per year. 

The Children's Liturgy program is offered to children age 4 to grade 2 at the 9:30 am Mass on Sundays from September to May.  The children are invited forward before the First Reading, process downstairs to the meeting room for their liturgy, and then return to sit with their families after the Prayer of the faithful. The program is delivered each week by two adult volunteers who have been screened.  At this time each committee member volunteers roughly twice a month. Those interested in volunteering to lead or be an assistant can contact the parish office by phone or email.

This program is not currently running due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
