Youth of the parish (4th grade and older) are invited to become Altar Servers. Altar Servers assist the priest during the Mass. It is one of the most helpful and meaningful services that people can perform in the parish and is an opportunity to learn more about the church and our worship of God. If you have received First Communion and are in the 4th grade or older, you are eligible to participate.

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen

The music ministry strives to invite and lead the congregation in full worship through songs. The songs are often chosen to reinforce the scriptural readings of the week or to draw attention to the offertory, preparation of the altar, or Eucharist. Our cantors are not performers or rock stars, but representatives of the congregation in support of the singing of the whole congregation.
To be in the choir you must:
"Among all the devotions approved by the Church none has been so favoured by so many miracles as the devotion of the Most Holy Rosary" (Pope Pius IX).
"Say the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world" (Our Lady of Fatima).
"There is no surer means of calling down God's blessings upon the family . . . than the daily recitation of the Rosary" (Pope Pius XII).
