Altar Servers
Altar Servers provide respectful and reverent altar service at our Lord’s table during scheduled liturgies. The Altar Server ministry is open to those who have completed the fourth grade, have received their First Holy communion, and are members of a family that is registered in our Parish.
EMHC
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) assist the pastor and deacon in distributing Holy Communion during Mass.
EMHC Visitation
This extension of our liturgy permits commissioned Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to bring the Blessed Sacrament to those who are homebound or in a hospital setting.
Instituted Acolyte
The Instituted Acolyte is appointed to assist the Deacon and serve the Priest during the Mass. He is an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion. The primary responsibility is to assist with the purification of vessels used in the distribution of Holy Communion.
Lector
Lectors proclaim the Word of God at Mass so as to bring alive the scriptures in the hearts of the faithful gathered.
Music Ministry
The Music Ministry creates an atmosphere of celebration and reverence to God through music for all Masses. St Anthony's music program includes cantors, choir(s), and instrumentalists to share in the musical experience of prayer. If you are interested in volunteering with our music ministry, we are always looking for singers, musicians, and admin help!
Sacristan
The Sacristan’s supervises the set-up for Daily and Weekend Masses. They coordinate the Liturgical Ministers (EMHC’s, Ushers, Greeters) who are serving at that specific Mass. The Sacristan is responsible for the set-up and physical arrangement of the Liturgy.
Usher
Ushers are vital to Mass on Sundays. We welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds who are eager to extend a warm hand of welcome to those around them.
Wedding Coordinator
The Wedding Coordinator is responsible for running the wedding rehearsal the day before the wedding. Then on the big day, they are responsible for setting up the church, and assisting the musicians, florists, photographers, and families as they arrive for this special day and making them feel at ease as they await the ceremony to start.
