Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Lectors, and altar servers

Looking to become an EMHC, lector, or altar server at our parish? We are always looking for new ministers to assist our priests during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve the Church. If you are interested, please contact Tim Kerr (tskerr@archomaha.org) to begin the registration and mandation process. If you are already registered, be sure to look for the most recent ministry schedule, which is updated and sent to your e-mail every 3 months.

In order to serve as a lector or EMHC, you must be in good standing with the Church and have received all three Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation). High school students who are juniors or seniors are also eligible to become EMHCs. Volunteer EMHCs are also needed to distribute Holy Communion to our homebound parishioners; contact the parish office for more information.

Boys and girls in grades 4 through 8 may serve as altar servers. They will assist the priest and deacon at the altar and carry the cross and candles in procession. A formal mandation is not required, but there will be a training session at the parish.

Greeters

Are you interested in being a welcoming presence to others for our masses? The greeter is the first person that people meet when they arrive at church. A guest's experience at our parish is significantly impacted by the presence of a welcoming atmosphere when they come to worship. Offering a smile and a word of welcome can have a profound impact on people as they arrive. Contact the parish office at 402-493-2186 if you are interested.

 

Ushers

Are you interested in helping our masses run smoothly? Ushers assure the comfort of the assembly in the church and perform various functions during the liturgy. One of the most important duties that the usher has is that of hospitality. The usher represents the rest of the assembly in offering welcoming hospitality for all who come to our parish. Ushers ensure that the church is in order before, during and after the celebration of Mass. They help to identify open seats and guide the assembly to those seats. They also provide assistance in emergencies. Contact the parish office at 402-493-2186 if you are interested.
