Liturgical Ministries
Below are the various ministries that members of Sacred Heart can participate in to enrich and deepen their spiritual lives, making those liturgies and devotions more relevant and meaningful to them.
Eucharistic Minister
Being an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion involves more than just a few minutes during Mass, as it involves helping to distribute Communion. We hope that Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion will take their spiritual growth seriously. Fr. Goetz will invite parishioners to become Extraordinary Ministers. A two-hour formation session will be required for those who are willing to accept an appointment as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. This training, which the bishop requires, will provide spiritual, theological, and practical preparation to fulfill the role with knowledge and reverence. Additionally, there may be ongoing formation requirements over the three-year term of the appointment.
Lector
The ministry of the Word is an important part of our liturgical life. The Word of God in our midst is Jesus. Lectors are supported in this ministry through encouragement, assistance in preparation, and our prayers. If you are interested in serving in this important ministry, please get in touch with the parish office.
Altar Server
Boys and girls in 4th grade or older may be trained to be altar servers. Please contact the parish office.
Hospitality
The Hospitality Ministry involves greeting and welcoming people as they arrive for Mass, helping with the offertory collection, and performing a few other simple tasks. If you are interested in the Hospitality Ministry, please get in touch with the Stewardship office.
Choir
The choir sings at the Sunday morning Mass and for special parish liturgies. Choir practice is held on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. from fall through spring. All are welcome to join.
Cantor
Music is an integral part of our liturgical life. Song leaders and cantors are essential for creating a climate of prayer by leading the assembly in joyfully proclaiming God's praise through music and song. If you are interested in being a song leader for either Mass, please contact the parish office.
