Our Lady of Lourdes 

Roman Catholic Church

     Service at the Altar is a great act of leadership, humility and holiness and often aids one in discernment of vocation to religious or married life.  Equally, service at the Altar is an act of worship to the Holy Trinity.  Acolytes of communicant age and up are needed to assist at Masses. Training for the Altar is necessary and will be announced periodically.

     The Ministry of Bereavment seeks to serve families in grief due to the loss of a loved one.  This is most often done through sending cards and providing meals to the families.  Please contact Judy Emerine for more details.

   Volunteers called "Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion" assist the Priest in the distribution of Holy Communion at the weekend Masses during the Liturgy of the Eucharist.  Also, they have the ministry of guarding and taking the Consecrated Body of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist to those unable to attend Mass due to illness or incarceration.

     The Foster Care Ministry aims at providing information on the many ways our parish can support local children in the foster care system and the families caring for them.  Please contact Adriene Pratt for more details.  Contact Adriene Pratt for more information.

Our Hospitality Ministers volunteer during the weekend Masses to assist visitors and parishioners in locating a seat; they serve as Greeters in the narthex and also serve in taking up the collection at the Offertory.

     Lectors have the honor and privilege of sharing in the ministry of the Word.  They volunteer to read the lessons from the lectionary at the weekend and daily Masses during the Liturgy of the Word.
