Liturgical Ministries

 

Altar Servers

Altar Servers are young people who assist the priests at the celebration of the Eucharist on Sundays, holy days, weddings, funerals and other parish celebrations. Boys and girls may begin serving when they have received First Eucharist and are in fifth grade or higher. Contact the Parish Office for more information.

 

Children’s Liturgy of the Word

Children’s Liturgy of the Word offers six to nine year-old children the opportunity to hear God’s word and take part in a homily adapted for children. The homily is given by people trained to break open the word for children. Children are dismissed with their leaders following the greeting and return to the assembly for the Eucharist.

Schedule:  The Children’s Liturgy occurs on Sundays at the 9:30 am and 12:30 pm Spanish Mass, during the school year. Contact: Religious Education 909-542-0449, Ext. 232.

 

Eucharistic Ministers

Eucharistic Ministers help distribute the Holy Eucharist at the Liturgy.  They also bring the Body of Christ to infirm and homebound parishioners.  Special training is required for this important ministry of immense love. Contact the Parish Office for more information.

 

Hospitality

Hospitality ministers reach out with a welcoming spirit of inclusion to all our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Ministers of all ages serve as greeters and ushers at liturgies and provide information to newcomers and parishioners at a Welcome Table after Mass.  All are invited to join this ministry. Contact the Parish Office for more information.

 

Lectors

Lectors are men and women who proclaim the Word of God to the assembly at Sunday and holy day liturgies.  There is special training and a mentoring process.  Contact the Parish Office for more information.
