Liturgical Ministries
Boys and girls in the third grade or above, as well as men and women, may become altar servers. All altar servers must have been baptized and received first Communion. Full training is provided several times a year.
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
This ministry responds to a very important calling, the distribution of the Body and Blood of our Lord at Mass. Any practicing Catholic over the age of 18 and registered in the parish is eligible. Training is provided several times a year.
Gift Bearers
Any member of the congregation may be invited to present the gifts of bread, wine, and financial stewardship at the weekend Masses.
Greeters
Greeters are part of the welcoming ministry. They are stationed at the church doors at all weekend Masses to welcome people entering the church. Being a greeter is a wonderful way to become part of the parish community.
Lectors proclaim the Word of the Lord. Ministers of the word should be comfortable reading to a large group of people. Training is provided several times a year.

Music/Choir
“Those who sing well, pray twice.” Music is integral to the liturgical celebration, and sacred music is a valued, important part of our worship. St. Andrew’s has an adult choir, a children’s choir, a resurrection choir, and a contemporary music ensemble. New voices are always welcome.
Ushers
Both men and women assist at the weekend Masses by seating parishioners and helping with collections. We also encourage families to serve together as ushers. Flexible scheduling is available, and training is provided.
