Liturgical ministry is an excellent opportunity to fulfill your baptismal call of service to one another. Our liturgies should utilize the talents and gifts that God has given this community, to the fullest extent. Whether participation is through “behind the scenes” preparation and planning, or through a public role of service within the Mass, parishioner contributions help our liturgies to be truly life-giving celebrations.

Lectors
Lectors boldly proclaim the Word of God at Sunday, daily, and Holy Day liturgies. A lector workbook and training are provided to prepare the upcoming Scripture readings. All candidates must be registered at St. Monica, have received the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Sacristans
Sacristans assist the clergy in preparing the vessels and vestments for the celebration of Mass and special liturgies. The sacristan then cleans and puts away the vessels and vestments, after Mass has been celebrated.
Hospitality Ministers
Hospitality Ministers ensure that we are able to offer a welcoming and safe environment for our Sacred Liturgies. They greet and seat parishioners and visitors, take up the collection, and assist with various situations that arise.
Altar Serving
Altar Servers assist the priest during the Mass and other liturgies. Any youth 4th grade and up who has received First Communion is encouraged to participate. This ministry is an awesome way for young people to deepen their faith, give back to our community, and practice leadership skills. The parish conducts trainings periodically for both new and returning Altar Servers.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) assist with the distribution of the Eucharist at Mass. These ministers are an important part of our Eucharistic celebrations. All Candidates must be registered at St. Monica, and have received the Sacrament of Confirmation. Training is provided.
