There are many opportunities for involvement in the celebration of the liturgy. The primary ministry of all who are gathered together is to be an active member of the assembly.
To be trained as a liturgical minister, contact Patrice Fitzpatrick.
Lector: The lector proclaims the scripture and leads the General Intercessions at Sunday liturgies. He/she must have a deep love of scripture and the ability to proclaim it in a way that enables the assembly to hear and appreciate the readings.
Extraordinary Minister of Communion: The Extraordinary Minister of Communion assists with distributing Communion at Sunday Eucharist. An Extraordinary Minister of Communion must be a fully initiated Catholic with deep respect for the Eucharist and a desire to serve the community.
Youth Altar Servers: Youth Altar Servers (girls and boys, grades 5th-high school) assist the presider during liturgical celebrations.
Music: OLV's Music Ministry serves the parish through participation in the weekly liturgies as well as special events scheduled during the year. If you are interested in joining the Music Ministry, contact Dr. Dennis Layendecker.
