Liturgical Ministries
Our Liturgical Ministries are responsible for ensuring that all of our liturgies are celebrated beautifully and reverently for the glory of God.
Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) assist the priest in offering to the faithful the greatest gift that God can give us, namely, His Son in the Eucharist. Those interested must be registered parishioners, have received the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, and be at least of high school age. New EMHC must attend a training session.
Music Ministry
The Blessed Sacrament music ministry endeavors to provide the best of sacred, Catholic music firmly planted on the solid foundation of the Church's vast, rich musical heritage. If you've ever given thought to possibly joining our music ministry, now is the perfect time to do so! There are currently openings at each Mass and each section (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) and we would welcome any new members!
Sacristan
These men and women have the opportunity to care for and prepare the sacred vessels used at Mass. Sacristans must be baptized, practicing Catholics and registered members of the parish. One training session is required. We also have volunteers who do the "Lord's Laundry" of laundering the purificators.
Ladies Altar Society
All ladies of the parish are invited to attend Ladies of the Altar Society meetings the second Tuesday of the month (no meetings June, July, August) at 6:30 p.m., in the Parish Hall. Ladies of the Altar Society provide altar care, furnish candles and clean the inside of the church. They provide funeral dinners and organize various parish receptions and dinners. Bake sales and participation in the annual carnival are among their fund-raising activities.
