Daily Mass Sacristan

Student or resident parishioner sacristans are responsible for setting up for Mass, selecting ministers, and cleaning up after Mass.  
 

Sacristans

The primary work of this ministry is to serve the parish by enhancing the readiness of our parish community to celebrate the liturgy, most notably, Sunday Mass. This minister serves "behind the scenes" on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings before each Mass to assure that all the items needed for the day's liturgy are in place, that the appropriate ministers are present, know their roles, and are ready to serve.
 

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are volunteer parishioners called to serve the Body of Christ at the Eucharist, at Communion Services, or in the ministry of care to the sick and homebound. Ministers are scheduled on a rotating schedule and serve at Saturday and Sunday Masses.

Lector/Reader

Proclaiming the Word of God to His people is the task entrusted to those who join the ministry of readers. They are scheduled on a rotating basis for the weekend Masses, Holy Days of Obligation and special celebrations. The reader, a practicing Catholic 6th grade and older, along with reading the Word, leads the congregation in the Prayers of the Faithful.  Readers are scheduled on a rotating schedule at Saturday and Sunday Masses. 

Music Ministry

If you can sing or play an instrument, there is a place for you in the St. Francis Music Ministry. This primary ministry provides music for the weekend and Holy Day liturgies. You have the opportunity to participate during weekend Masses, weekly adoration and our student Mass on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. We welcome singers, cantors, instrumentalists and pianists.

Rehearsals are 45 minutes before Mass. Come when you can! Learn more about music ministry and get involved.
 

Greeters -Sign Up Here

Creating a warm atmosphere for all worshipers is the first priority of the Greeters. Entire families are also encouraged to participate in this ministry, which often sets the tone for how people will feel while participating in the worship service.  Greeters serve at the Saturday and Sunday Masses. 

During this unprecedented time of the pandemic, greeters also assist in providing hand sanitizer upon entering the church and during communion, as well as showing parishioners to their seats.

Altar Servers

Children in the 4th-12th grade may be trained as a Youth Altar Server. These children serve at weekend Masses, as well as some Holy Day Masses. 

BSU students may also be trained as Altar Servers for student and all-parish liturgies.
