Liturgical Ministry

Group: Liturgy Committee

The Liturgy Committee supports the clergy in preparing parish celebrations. It develops guidelines, supports the various liturgical ministries and plans and reviews all liturgies within the parish.

Group: Acolytes

Appointed to attend to the services of the altar and to assist the deacon and the priest in liturgical celebrations, especially in the celebration of Mass.

Group: Altar Servers

Altar serving including main liturgical celebrations. Train young kids after their First Holy Communion to be involved in altar serving.

Group: Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion 

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion assist the priest in giving Communion to the assembly. They may also take Communion to the sick and elderly at home or in hospitals.

Group: Children’s Liturgy of the Word

Primary school age children celebrate the Liturgy of the Word at the Sunday 10am Masses during the school term. It’s an occasion of worship as they listen to the Readings and hear Christ speak to us through the Gospel at their own level. Duration 20-25 minutes.

Group: Proclaimers

Ensure proclaimers are available for all weekend masses.

Group: Children Mass Planning Group

This committee organises one Mass every term that is aimed for school-attending children. It provides the children an opportunity to participate more wholly in the Mass especially in areas which are usually reserved for adults.

This committee, along with the parish priest, decides which weekend this Mass will be held and then brainstorms how those readings will be portrayed to the children.

Once this is done, the committee then invites the parish to nominate children to participate in the Mass.

Children will be given the opportunity to read, re-enact the Gospel, participate in the choir and take part in the offertory, amongst other things.

Group: Mass Greeters

Our mission is to greet parishioners as they come to church for Mass. To make them feel welcome when handing out bulletin notices with a smile that depicts the parish motto A house of welcome for all and a place of service to all.
