"The liturgy is considered as an exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ. In the liturgy the sanctification of the man is signified by signs perceptible to the senses, and is effected in a way which corresponds with each of these signs; in the liturgy the whole public worship is performed by the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, that is, by the Head and His members" (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 7).

“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”

1 Peter 4:10

Serving in the Sacred Liturgy is a privilege and an opportunity to offer our God-given gifts in worship of God and service to His Church. The role of liturgical ministers is to assist the Priest and the faithful—the Head and members of Christ's Mystical Body—in offering themselves in the worship of the Most Holy Trinity. Whether serving behind the scenes or in a visible role during Mass, every ministry helps create reverent and prayerful celebrations that draw others closer to Christ.



We invite you to prayerfully consider if God may be calling you to serve in one of these particular ways. Explore the opportunities below to learn more about our liturgical ministries.
