"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace"
1 Peter 4:10
Liturgical Ministries
Altar Guild
There are many details to be taken care of that many of us do not see in order to prepare for all the Masses every week. It takes about 20 volunteers PER Mass to help celebrate the Mass. With five Masses that’s about 100 people every weekend... However, there are many more volunteers in the background who also help in preparing the Mass every week. One of those is our Altar Guild.
Have you ever wondered what happens to all the linens from Mass every week? We have a wonderful Altar Guild who maintains all linens used during all the Masses. They are responsible for changing altar cloths, washing and ironing altar linens, and cleaning priests’ robes. All the volunteers are scheduled as needed. We would love to have more people involved in this great ministry.
Altar Servers
Looking for an opportunity to serve your parish and our Lord? No need to look any further, the Holy Family Altar Servers are looking for young boys and girls to assist at our Masses. Our ministry has a group of dedicated individuals who are committed to excellence, reverence and teamwork. If you have made your First Communion, then you are eligible to join the fun as we try to also get together as a team for movie nights, ice hockey, and bowling just to name a few! Training class will take approximately one hour and your name will be added to the list upon completion of the course. We hope you strongly consider joining!
