Mass Coordinator
The weekend celebration of the Eucharist in our parish requires the cooperation of a variety of ministers. The Mass Coorindators are present at each of the weekend massses to be sure that all of these ministers are prepared and in place before mass begins.
Lectors
66. The reader is instituted to proclaim the readings from Scripture,
with the exception of the gospel. He may also announce the intentions
for the general intercessions and, in the absence of the psalmist,
sing or read the psalm between the readings.
The reader has his own proper function in the eucharistic celebration
and should exercise this even though ministers of a higher rank may
be present.
Those who exercise the ministry of reader, even if they have not
received institution, must be truly qualified and carefully prepared
in order that the faithful will develop a warm and lively love for
Scripture[53] from listening to the reading of the sacred texts.
General Instruction to the Roman Missal
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
In the Catholic church, "The ordinary minister of the Holy Communion ia a Bishop, Priest or Deacon."

Each of our weekend masses requires the assistance of 3-5 extraordinary ministers. For more information about serving in this minstry contact Kay Fleetwood.
