Liturgical Ministries

Altar Servers

Boys and girls assist the priests at Sunday and weekday Masses, funerals, weddings, Stations of the Cross and other special events. Current servers range from students in Grades 3 to 12. Please contact Judene Indovina in the rectory to register.

FUNERAL & DAILY MASS SERVERS NEEDED: Are you retired? Do you work part-time? Are you a stay-at-home parent? Would you like to find a new way to serve God? Then consider volunteering your time to serve funeral Masses and/or daily morning Masses at St. Joseph! With the school closed, we will no longer have a battalion of youth altar servers available. If you could help out with these Masses, please contact Judene.

ALTAR SERVER NEWSLETTER: Click here to read the February altar server newsletter. This newsletter is written as a means to keep everyone: servers, parents/guardians, Fr. Rich, the sacristan and other members of the worship team on the same page about events, scheduling, changes, etc.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

The Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion help with the distribution of Communion during Mass and taking Communion to the homebound of the parish and those in the surrounding hospitals. A short training session is required. Please contact Judene if you are interested.

Lectors

One of the oldest and revered ministries in the Church. the lector does not simply read God’s Word, put proclaims it, as God’s Word provides guidance, wisdom, knowledge, comfort, peace and above all, the promise of the ages, eternal salvation. From the lector’s mouth to the hearer’s ears, the Word of God edifies and builds faith and hope in Christ Jesus. To stand at the ambo, to open the sacred pages and to proclaim its truth is a sacred trust -- a humble but glorious opportunity. If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Judene.
