Active participation in the Mass through volunteering fosters community and enriches the liturgy. Key service opportunities include: 

Hospitality & Order: Welcome parishioners as a Greeter or serve as an Usher, assisting with seating, processions, and the offertory collection.

Liturgical Ministers: Proclaim the Scriptures as a Lector or assist with the distribution of Holy Communion as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.

Sacred Music: Contribute your talents to the Music Ministry by joining the choir or serving as a cantor or instrumentalist.

Behind-the-Scenes: Prepare the altar and sacred vessels as a Sacristan, or lead younger members in the Children’s Liturgy of the Word.

Fellowship: Help build parish bonds by assisting with After-Mass Hospitality, such as coffee and donut socials.

Catholic teaching on serving the poor is centered on the principle that God has a "special place in His heart" for the vulnerable, and therefore, the Church must make a "decisive and radical choice" in their favor. This obligation is not considered a side project or optional charity, but a fundamental requirement of the Christian faith and a work of justice.
