Ministries

The Art and Environment Committee is responsible for decorating the worship space for the various liturgical seasons. Volunteers are needed weekly and also seasonally for decorating tasks.

Volunteers assist with emergencies that may occur before/during/immediately following Mass. Emergencies include medical, fires, storms, earthquakes, and intruders.

(Previously called Eucharistic Ministers)

In a spirit of reverence, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion share the Body and Blood of Christ with the assembly. They can also take Holy Communion to the homebound or those in hospitals. To be an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, you must be confirmed and have attended a Eucharistic minister training session. Sessions typically occur once a semester.

As the Body of Christ assembles for worship, greeters welcome all who come to the feast, extending a warm smile and friendly “hello.”

After careful preparation and prayer, lectors proclaim the Scriptures (Word of God) during liturgical celebrations. Lectors attend a lector training session, which typically occurs once a semester.

Sometimes also referred to as a sacristan, this person sets up for and cleans up after Mass. In the absence of an altar server and/or deacon, they also will assist the presider. Mass Coordinator training sessions are on a one-on-one basis.

The music ministry is designed to serve the voice of the worship assembly. Vocalists and instrumentalists (keyboard, guitars, strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion) participate in weekly rehearsals and occasional workshops to develop excellence within the choirs and ensembles. College students are also invited to participate in the CoMo College Worship Collective.

During liturgical celebrations, sound board operators run the slides at Mass while also ensuring that microphones are on and at appropriate volume levels. You do need to have a level of comfort with technology in order to serve in this capacity, but we will also provide training to make sure that you know how to operate the systems in the chapel. Training sessions are on a one-on-one basis.
