Lectors/Readers: Proclaim the Word of God by reading Scriptures at the weekday and weekend liturgies. One or two lectors participate at each Mass.
Altar servers: Actively contribute to various significant liturgical functions. Servers carry the cross and processional candles and present the bread, wine, and water during the preparation of the gifts. They provide assistance to both the priest and deacon as required.
The ministry of being an altar server in the Catholic Church is exceptionally unique. Apart from the priests and deacons, no other individuals have the opportunity to engage so intimately in the preparation of the Eucharist.
Eucharistic Ministers (Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion): Assist with the distribution of Communion at Mass. Eucharistic Ministers are available for the sick, shut-ins, those in nursing homes and anyone else who may be unable to attend Mass on a temporary or permanent basis.
Ushers & Greeters: Designated as Ministers of Hospitality, they are entrusted with the important task of fostering a warm and inclusive atmosphere for all who gather for worship. As the initial point of contact during the communal celebration of the Liturgy, they play a vital role in promoting a sense of welcome and belonging.
Greeters: Extend warm greetings to individuals as they enter our Crescent Parishes, distributing bulletins either before/after Mass and fosters a hospitable environment that welcomes everyone with open arms.
Ushers: Provide assistance to individuals in finding seating if required and facilitate the passing of the collection basket during the offertory.
Sacristans: Prepare the altar with the chalice, water, wine, and bread needed for the celebration of Mass, prepare the Book of Gospels, and light candles, etc. At the conclusion of Mass, the Sacristan extinguishes candles, oversees cleaning of vessels, and placement in Sacristy storage areas.
There are many opportunities for people of all ages to share their musical talents within our Crescent Parishes. If interested in joining our choirs please contact our Music Ministers below.
