All Saints’ has many opportunities to minister during Mass. If interested in any of the following, please contact the Parish Office.
Acolytes
Adult and youth acolytes serve at the altar during services. They light the candles and, as part of the procession to and from the altar, acolytes carry the cross and candles. They assist the priests with preparations for Holy Communion.
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild assists the clergy in preparation for worship: arranging and maintaining all the physical parts of the service. Members also maintain priests' robes and accessories, keep all the vessels clean and polished, and make sure there is always a candle burning in the sanctuary. They keep the holy water founts filled, and take care of the multitude of important details within the sanctuary. Also part of their responsibility is working with families for both weddings and funerals.
Chalice Bearers
Chalice Bearers assist with the offering of sacramental wine during the Holy Communion.
Choir
All Saints' volunteer choir provides the musical accompaniment for all Choral Eucharist services. They meet weekly to practice and add a rich texture to the service with hymns,
praise songs and anthems. Contact the Music Director for more information.
Lay Readers
Lay readers are responsible for reading the Old Testament and New Testament passages that are a part of each service, as well as leading some prayers.
Ushers
Ushers serve All Saints’ parish at the Sunday Masses: meeting and welcoming visitors/newcomers, assisting them as needed. They also bring the offerings to the altar and arrange for parishioners to bear the sacramental elements to the altar. In Following the service they carry out a number of custodial duties to make sure that everything is in order before the area is secured.
