Ministers of
Communion
Ministers
of Communion are people whose prayer life has called them to serve their
community by distributing Holy Communion to their brothers and sisters at
Mass. Some of them also bring Communion to the sick at home or in the
hospital (these are called Ministers of Care). Because of the importance
of this ministry, we ask them to not only train, but to also maintain a
devoted prayer life so as best to reflect the gift of the Lord Jesus which
they are sharing with others. These Ministers received their latest
commissioning on the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi).
Lectors
Proclaiming
the Word of God so that all can hear and understand the Scriptures, is not
only difficult, but it is also important for the assembly. Our Lectors
train and practice to proclaim God's Word each Sunday in a manner that will
help others understand the message of God's love for us.
English Choir
Our
English choir has been singing together nearly thirty years! They have a
wide repertoire of nontraditional music and a wonderful acoustic sound.
Since they have been together so long, they blend wonderful harmonies and
include music from the sixties through today.
Spanish Choirs
Our
two Spanish Masses each have their own choir, although the musicians play at
both Masses. Each choir adds its own flavor to the music. We think
you'll enjoy singing along with them!
Altar Servers
In
order to be a server, a young person must first make their First Communion,
and undergo training. These young boys and girls assist Father at the
altar, holding the book for prayer, preparing the altar and leading the
procession. Their dedication and serious effort in helping the
congregation to pray is very much appreciated. Please speak Deacon
Adolfo Lopez if you wish to be an altar server.
Sacristan
Those
who volunteer to clean up the church and to set up for Mass.
