Eucharistic Ministers/Ministros de la Eucaristia

Eucharistic Ministers serve the parish community with prayerful reverence while assisting in the distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ at weekday and weekend Masses, as well as administering to the home bound. Initial and ongoing training is required for this ministry. Persons interested may contact the parish office at 574-4545.

Lectors/Lectores

Lectors require the ability to read well in public and to proclaim God's word effectively. Initial and ongoing training sessions are required. Lectors are scheduled between one and four times per month. Please contact the parish office for more information.

Ushers/Greeters/Ministers of Hospitality/Collectors

Do you have a warm and friendly smile? Do you enjoy meeting people? Then help us spread the Good News! You will greet parishioners and guests on arrival at Mass, seat them as occasion arises, assist all disabled persons, take up collections, distribute bulletins at the end of Mass and remove unwanted materials from the pews after everyone leaves. Members are expected to be timely, dependable and dress appropriately. Please contact the parish office for more information.

Liturgical Art and Environment Ministers

We are members of St. Andrew Parish with an interest in helping prepare our church for the celebration of the Liturgy. Liturgical Art and Environment Ministers are volunteers who give what we can whenever we can to enrich the worship experience for all through the integration of such principles as color, texture, arrangement, and design in order to enhance our consecrated worship space.

Presently, our ministry has a core group of members who act as the planning committee for the larger scale tasks we undertake. We then invite the parish community to assist in the actual cleaning of the church and arrangement of items in preparation of celebrating the specific Liturgical focus.

Our efforts focus on, but are not limited to, Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, Christ the King, and special feast days such as our church's patron, St. Andrew. Our group has also begun submission of a small segment in our Church's weekly bulletin, "Did you know..." in which we try to share a moment of reflection that is pertinent to Liturgical themes or concepts.
