The Liturgy Coordinator serves as the liaison between the Liturgy Committees and the Parish Pastoral Council.

Goals and activities to fulfill the mission of each committee are established yearly.


Banners

Mission:

To enhance the theme of the liturgical celebration through the use of banners.

Activities:

Banners are designed for specific feast days as well as seasons of the year by committee members. We meet every three months to appoint volunteers to put up, and take down, banners displayed in the church.


Extraordinary Ministers of the Holy Eucharist

Mission:

We as "Extraordinary Ministers" are entrusted to perform a special function for members of our parish family. We help and assist the priests in the distribution of Holy Communion, either at Mass or at any other time.


Lectors

Mission:

To proclaim the Word of God in the Mass liturgy.

Skills:

A strong public speaking voice, a commitment to continued improvement of speaking skills and a dedication to practice and prepare during the week prior to proclaiming the Word of God. Mandatory training during Lenten season is required.

Mass Time:

As needed or your choice.


Mass Greeters

Mission:

Extend a warm welcome to parishioners and guests to the celebration of Mass at St. Francis of Assisi.

Activities:

Mass Greeters are present at the entrances of the church before weekend Masses to greet and welcome everyone to the Mass celebration. More greeters are needed at all Masses.


Music Department

Mission:

The music ministry is designed to assist and lead the congregation in the celebration of the Liturgy. This requires the time and talent of many people including oragnist, instrumentalists, and singers. Included in the St.Francis music ministry are a large traditional choir, which sings every Sunday at the 10:00 AM Mass; a Men's Ensemble, which sings the third Sunday of the month at the 11:30 AM mass; a children's choir, grades three through six, which sings once a month; a folk choir, which sings twice a month, and a small select group, the Sacred Ensemble, which sings every third Saturday. New members are always weclome and needed in all of these gropus. For more information, please call the Church Office, or just come to rehearsal!


Offertory Gifts

Mission:

To arrange for parish families to carry up Offertory Gifts during the weekend Masses.

Activities:

All families of St. Francis of Assisi Parish are invited to participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by volunteering to take up Offertory Gifts. You can volunteer by filling out the Time and Talent form each year, or by calling the chairperson.


Ushers

Mission:

To guide and assist the parishioners to their seats, be alert to their safety and help them to be more comfortable in church, and direct them to the reception of the Holy Sacraments.
