Liturgical Ministry

Explore opportunities for service in the liturgy

Ministry in the Liturgy is a sacred privilege in which we offer back to God what He given us; in service to Him and in service to others.


Whether participation is through “behind the scenes” preparation and planning or through a public role of service within the Mass, parishioner contributions help our liturgies to be truly life-giving celebrations. Please prayerfully consider joining one of these ministries.


Registration is at the bottom of this page.

A/V MINISTRY TEAM

AV support can be done from the loft or in the pews during Mass. Volunteers of all ages advance lyrics and are needed to operate the sound board and cameras.

Altar Serving

Altar servers add to the solemnity that already surrounds the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. They assist the Priest in important ways in his role as head of the worshiping church. To become an altar server, you must be in at least 4th Grade and have received the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

These ministers assist with the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass. All ministers of Holy Communion should show the greatest reverence for the Most Holy Eucharist by their demeanor, their attire, and the manner in which they handle the consecrated bread or wine.

Greeters

As the first person our parishioners and visitors encounter when they come to St. John Neumann, the hospitality minister acts as the face of Jesus and His church.


These ministers welcome visitors and parishioners as they enter the Church and are a friendly and helpful presence. They seat people during Mass, take up the offertory collection, and pass out the bulletin as people leave Mass.

Lector

A lector performs the very important function of proclaiming the Word of God at Mass.

Sacristan

These ministers set up for Holy Mass and coordinate the liturgy with the various other ministers.
