LITURGICAL MINISTRIES

[ HOME ]

You may take for granted when you come to church on Sunday or for a special event the various “extras” that make the Mass or service a meaningful experience. Greeters welcome you as you enter. Lectors proclaim God’s Word. Altar servers assist the priests and deacons during the celebration. Mass coordinators ensure everything goes smoothly. Various musical elements bring the liturgy to life.

These are just a few of the groups that make it possible for us to have beautiful, faith-filled celebrations here at St. Marcelline. Called the Liturgical Ministries, the following organizations play an active role in enhancing the various worship services we celebrate throughout the year.

ALTAR SERVERS are comprised of young people who assist the priest at Mass - Christine Cooper, Coordinator.

ART & ENVIRONMENT are parishioners who are charged with maintaining the environment in the worship space - Colleen Schlenker and Karen Tepe

CHILDREN'S LITURGICAL MINISTRY is made up of our younger parishioners who serve as Lectors, Greeters, and Gift Bearers during our weekly 9:00am Children and Family Liturgy. If your child is interested in becoming part of this ministry, please call the Administration Center to be put in touch with the coordinator - Brett Garner, Coordinator.

EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS are confirmed parishioners who distribute communion to the assembly at our weekend Masses. Training sessions are offered several times throughout the year and a flexible schedule is available - Dr. Brunelle, Minister of Liturgy & Music.

GREETERS are folks who greet our parishioners and guests at Mass. They provide a welcoming smile to our many guests and parishioners who enter our church - Dr. Brunelle, Minister of Liturgy & Music.

LECTORS are adults and teens who proclaim the "Word of the Lord" each week. They hold a weekly practice session that includes praying with the scriptures for that weekend, and rehearsing their proclamation. New members are always welcome - June & Wayne Bessette, Coordinators.

MASS COORDINATORS (MC'S) are parishioners who assist the Minister of Liturgy & Music with the overall set-up and coordinating of ministers at each Mass. They are an invaluable key to a prayer-filled, well-planned and executed Liturgy. They assist with set up of the vessels and litugical books, coordinating families to process up the Gifts, to making sure all the Eucharistic Ministers are present. Anyone who has an interest in providing necessary leadership in the Liturgy are most welcome - Howard Lanctot, Coordinator

SACRISTANS are members who maintain supplies in the sacristy, wash and painstakingly press the Purificators and other linens used at Mass, assist in cleaning the Church and many other "behind the scene" tasks - Liz Scipior, Head Sacristan.

USHERS are men and women of our parish who ensure the safety and well-being of all who worship with us each week. They assist with those who have disabilities find seating, help those who fall ill, and guide those needing directions. They are importent to maintaing a reverent and peaceful atmosphere - Raymond Biliskov, Head Usher.
