Liturgical Ministries

All ministry is scheduled on a monthly rotating basis.

Servers:

Serve the Lord with Gladness! We welcome all youth 9 years old through High School to train as servers. After a training period, the servers have a rotating schedule, usually serving once a month at week-end Masses. They may be called upon to serve at other liturgical prayer or devotions. You’re invited to call 816-628-5030, ask for Pat Kreidler.

Ushers and Hospitality Ministry:

The Ushers and hospitality ministers extend the first greeting in the name of Jesus and our faith community. They provide the amenities of hospitality from greeting to seating; assistance as it is needed, collecting our offerings, coordinating gift bearers during the liturgy. They distribute the bulletin and tidying our worship space after each service. We invite families to share in the ministry of hospitality. Adults with confirmed youth are welcome to serve as ushers. Our head usher, Jim Beaty provides training, 792- 4862.

Lectors:

Lectors proclaim the scripture readings from the old and new testaments. Their ministry is required at all week-end liturgies, and some chose to serve at week-day Masses. This ministry requires time for prayerful preparation of the readings. Clear diction, tempo and tone are a must for this ministry, since the very word of God is imparted through hearing. Special Training is available throughout the year by the Diocese. If this gift of proclamation describes you, please call 816-628-5030, Pat Kreidler for further information.

Special Ministers of Holy Communion:

This ministry provides for orderly and timely distribution of Holy Communion during Mass. Special training sessions are provided by the Diocese throughout the year. For more information about becoming a Eucharistic Minister contact the Parish office 816-628-5030. Pat Kreidler.
