Eucharistic Minister
The Eucharist Ministers are called to assist with distributing Holy Communion along with Father at the Saturday evening, Sunday Masses and Holy Days.. There is training for this ministry. There are also opportunities to carry Holy Communion to those unable to attend Mass because of infirmity, illness, or injury through the Homebound Eucharistic Ministry.
Sacristan
The ministry of the sacristan is a crucial one in the life of a parish, and its importance cannot be overstated. By preparing and overseeing the things of the liturgy. Our sacristans are entrusted with the ministry of preparing for the Mass celebrations and making sure all is in order when the Celebration is finished.
The variety of duties include setting the altar, preparing the bread and wine, readying the chalices and other items necessary for Communion. This ministry is open to both men and women.
The sacristan’s duties, in part, consist of being caretaker of the sacred vessels, vestments and preparation of the ritual books. Training is provided for those interested in this ministry.
Lector
Lectors are called as reader, to proclaim the
readings from scripture, with the exception of the Gospel. They also
announce the intentions for the general intercessions and may read the
responsorial Psalm between readings.
Eucharistic Adoration
Every First Friday following 8:00 am Mass, Eucharistic Adoration begins, and will end at 8:00 pm. During those hours, the church is open for Adoration for all. Individuals can commit to a specified time each week to attend Adoration as well. Give an hour to God.

2018-2021
After taking office in January, the most pro-abortion government in U.S. history wasted no time rolling back protections for abortion-vulnerable moms and babies. The abortion industry had waited decades for this moment--the opportunity to vanquish all opposition to abortion and infanticide. But there's one factor the abortion industry didn't count on: YOU.
Your grassroots response to dysfunction in Washington, D.C. made the recently completed 40 Days for Life vigil one of the largest mobilizations of pro-lifers in world history. See how the Body of Christ united this Lent to stop the abortion industry in its tracks on our free video webcast: Grassroots.
The event will air Tuesday, April 20 at 9 PM Eastern / 6 PM Pacific.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE WEEK
THE SEARCH / EPISODE 7 / WHY A CHURCH?
How do I access this man who lived 2000 years ago? How do I live this call of love? We uniquely encounter the love of God in His Church. But really? The Church? There are so many negative views of the Church. It’s out of touch. It’s full of bad people. It’s just too boring. Maybe when we say “The Church” we mean a little more. The church is the family of God that’s been lovingly gathered through our entire story.

Dr. Ben Akers and author Sarah Christmyer discuss the need for prayer in desperate times and how scripture can be a critical instrument in cultivating a fruitful prayer life when life is difficult. Watch video now...
THE SEARCH / EPISODE 5 / WHO IS JESUS?
The most beautiful part of this story is this we can know God's love, personally. This is the person of Jesus. But how did this seemingly insignificant carpenter born into poverty in a dusty corner of the Roman Empire become the most pivotal figure in all of history. Christianity isn’t simply a philosophy for life – the center of Christianity is a person. We look at the life of Jesus and what he came to do. Ultimately, we need to decide if Jesus really was who he said he was. We can’t sit on the fence. Because if Jesus really was who he said he was, we need to make him the Lord of our lives, and everything changes.

Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most holy Eucharist. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
Q&A
Q. What do I do if I cannot go to confession or receive Holy Communion because of the Coronavirus?
A. In the circumstances of public Mass being suspended and Lenten penance services being canceled, there are devotions that enable you to receive forgiveness of your sins (under certain conditions) and the consolation of the grace of the Eucharist. These devotions have been encouraged by the church in times of great distress and have been practiced by the saints.
