MINISTRIES AT ST. SAVIOUR

 

We have over three hundred parishioners involved in the different ministries at our Sunday Liturgies.

Worship Coordinators are responsible for all the last minute details for weekend Mass in regards to the Liturgy.

 

Eucharistic Ministers are lay liturgical ministers who assist with the distribution of Communion at Mass. Eucharistic Ministers are available for the sick, shut-ins, those in nursing homes, and anyone else who may be unable to attend Mass on a temporary or permanent basis. For more information and scheduling, contact the parish office.

 

Greeters welcome parishioners and visitors to our liturgical gatherings.

 

Lectors proclaim the Word of God during our Liturgy.

 

Servers minister at the altar during the celebration of the liturgy (adults and children grade 4 and older).

 

Ushers help seat people for the liturgy, help with emergencies, take up the collection, distribute bulletins and direct the communion procession.

 

Music Ministers support our prayer with their talents. Music is an integral part of our prayer. It has the ability to gather all members of the parish as we sing with one voice in praise of our God. Our adult choir provides music at the 9 or 11:00 AM Masses on Sunday (except during the summer). Anyone who likes to sing and is interested in serving in this ministry through music is welcome to join. Rehearsals are held weekly on Wednesday nights. Cantors also support our liturgies by leading the congregation in song. Contact Jim Balbach, Music Director, concerning this ministry.

 

Gift Bearers present to the Presider the hosts and wine in a procession from the offertory table to the altar. Families, couples or individuals are invited to volunteer.

 

A training session is provided for all of the above ministries to familiarize volunteers with proper procedures.
