Liturgical Ministries:
Ushers:
- They share responsibility in the ministry of hospitality. Their presence in the gathering space before Mass is to greet visitors as they arrive and escort them to their seats. Ushers help distribute necessary materials, assist gift bearers during the Offertory and also handle the collection of money.
Lectors:
- They proclaim the Word of God. The most effective sign of a good reader is a person reading with life, energy, intelligence and enthusiasm.
Eucharistic Ministers:
- They share the bread and cup and themselves with each person who approaches them. Their ministry is one of hospitable, personal presence in service to the celebrating assembly. *Diocesan training a prerequisite.
Funeral Team:
- They are made up of our senior parish members, only because they are more frequently home during the daytime hours. This ministry assists during the funeral liturgy as greeter, server, Eucharistic minister and lector. Training is provided. Please contact LeAnn and Dennis Wessling 816-741-1219 for more information.
Servers:
- They have a primary role to help prepare the worship service, lead the people in prayer and assist as a minister during communion. Girls and boys ages 11 and above are welcome to be trained as servers. Please contact Mike Koll 816-746-6349.
Art and Environment:
- This is a collaborative ministry working together to aesthetically and visually enhance our parish celebration. A lot of physical energy is required and a good sense of liturgy.
Music Ministers:
- They are all those who make music for worship: choir director, organist, pianist, cantor, choir members, and other instrumentalists. All these pastoral musicians need to be competent in their art, skilled in their understanding and sense of the liturgy and able to model and inspire Christian faith.
Hand Bell Choir:
- This is an exciting way to learn to read music and become an active participant in liturgy. Hand bells are fun to play for all ages.
