LITURGICAL MINISTRIES

Liturgical Ministries.png

Liturgical Ministers have a special opportunity to be Christ to those assembled by their acts of service within the Mass. By welcoming as ushers, by proclaiming the Word as lectors, and by imitating Christ in sharing communion as Extra-Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, liturgical ministers are Christ present sacramentally. Everyone who is baptized has Christ’s imprint and so is worthy of being a liturgical minister. Through Baptism we share in Christ’s mission and in his holy priesthood. Through the presider and through us, in our different roles, Jesus is revealed and our prayer deepened.
