Liturgical ministries are a great opportunity to fulfill our baptismal call of service to one another. Liturgy, in Greek, literally means “Work for the People”. Parishioner participation help our liturgies to be truly life-giving celebrations. Volunteers are welcome to assist with ministry once cleared by the pastor in accord with the norms of the diocese.  Please devoutly consider joining one of our Liturgical Ministries.

Music Ministry

Music is a form of prayer. The Music Ministry leads the singing of the assembly to help raise its heart to God through song. If you enjoy singing – or if you play an instrument – we invite you to consider offering your talents to one of our choirs. We have an english choir and a spanish choir.
