Adult Choir
Contact: Ed Eicker, Direct of Music
 
The Adult Choir has been singing in the Upper Church for over fifty years. They are noted for having performed much of the best choral compositions written for the Church. Presently they sing at the 10:30am Mass on Sunday and on major Holy Days. They are a very dedicated group of nearly fifty men and women who see singing in the choir as a real ministry to the parish. They rehearse on Thursday evenings in Duffin Hall from 7 to 9 pm.

The Children’s Choir is a great way for your child to actively participate in the liturgy! If your child is in grades 3 - 8 and enjoys singing, encourage him or her to join the choir. The Children’s Choir sings at one Mass each month from Sept. through May. Rehearsals are on Monday afternoons from 4 - 5 pm in Duffin Hall.

The Contemporary Choir sings at the 9 am upstairs Mass on the first and third Sundays of the month from September through May. This group offers a variety of contemporary music to enhance our worship. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7 - 9pm.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Contact: Mike Marrese

Eucharistic Ministers are laity who assist the "ordinary ministers" (those ordained, i.e., priests, deacons, bishops) to distribute the consecrated, precious Body and Blood of Christ at Mass. Training is offered approximately twice annually.

Lectors
Contact: Mike Marrese

Lectors are "Ministers of the Word" who proclaim the word of God during Mass. They bring our sacred scripture to life, giving voice to God's word. Lectors proclaim the first and second readings and lead the congregation in the Prayers of the Faithful (general intercessions). Training is offered once annually.

Ushers
Contact: Stephen Bozek

Ushers serve our parish community by collecting offerings, assuring the comfort of parishioners at liturgies, coordinating the orderly reception of communion, and the distribution of bulletins. They are goodwill ambassadors who often are the first parish representative to interact with the congregation at church functions.
