Hospitality Ministers

Greeters/Ushers

Greeters exude friendliness, warmth, and helpfulness. As our brothers and sisters arrive at Mass, our greeters are the first welcoming face they see from our community. ​They are present before, during, and after Mass to assist in many of the "behind the scenes" operations of Mass, including coordinating and taking up the collection.

Music Ministry

Those in the music ministry share their talents to enhance our prayer and worship during Mass. We have skill sets ranging from professional musicians to dedicated, non-trained, volunteers who simply want to use their gifts to praise God through music. Whatever your musical gifts may be, we need you and have a place for you!
