Worship Ministries
Altar Server
Altar servers assist the priest during the liturgy. This includes Mass, funerals and school liturgies. Servers are to arrive 15 minutes prior to Mass, dressed in their Sunday best and ready to serve. We welcome students grade 5 and above. Training is provided at the beginning of each school year and in the spring. Scheduling is done on a monthly rotating basis.

Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) are entrusted to perform a special function for members of our parish family. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion help distribute Holy Communion on weekend, daily liturgies, and to the homebound. Anyone who has been confirmed is eligible to be an EMHC. Scheduling is done on a rotating basis and training is provided by the Archdiocese of Louisville. Contact John Raque at 296-5831 or john.raque32@gmail.com.

These ministers greet and welcome the community before liturgies and after Mass. They distribute the Church bulletin at the Sanctuary Lancashire Side & Sanctuary Assumption Side doors only.

Hospitality-Gift Bearer
All members of the parish are invited and encouraged to volunteer for this ministry. This is a wonderful opportunity for families, as well as singles or couples, to be active participants in the celebration of the Eucharist by bringing the gifts of bread and wine to the altar table at the Offertory.

Worship Environment
The Worship Environment Committee strives to enhance the worship experience in accordance with the different liturgical seasons of the Church (Lent and Advent). Anyone interested in lending their talents: sewing, decorating, designing, gardening, or other creative talents would be a welcome addition to the committee.

Sacristan
A Sacristan ensures the church is set up properly for any services being held. A few of the responsibilities of a Sacristan are unlocking the church, checking the number of host in the tabernacle, preparing the wine and water cruets and making sure all the vessels, towels, and candles are in place.
