Baptism Program
Kathy and Gary Mulcahy
The Baptism Program is set up to help welcome and
share our beliefs, practices and experiences relating to the Sacrament
of Baptism. The program is run by volunteer couples. Each couple usually oversees two meetings a year. The
meetings take approximately 1-1.5 hours and follow a format of
introductions, viewing a video, discussion, and a question and answer
period. This program fosters a closeness of one's faith together
with their faith as a couple. |
Lectors

Lectoring is an important ministry of the Church.
It allows the written Word of God to be passed onto the congregation for
insight and contemplation. As a Lector, you orate the reading at
the Mass as the well as the responsorial Psalm, general intercessions
and announcements. A good, clear speaking voice is our only
requirement. |

Family choir is open to all individuals and families of the parish. Our

round. Our practice schedule varies, so please call for more
information. Anyone who wishes to sing is welcome.
10:30 Mass Choir (One A-Chord)
Phil Lamoureux
When you
sing, you pray twice! Our mission as Ministers of Music is to offer an
enriching experience of music in the Liturgy: one which encourages the
participation of our entire community. We choose contemporary Catholic
music that echoes the Scripture readings, and we pray that the Lord will
use us to inspire His Word in the hearts of the congregation.
Although
we take our ministry “seriously”, we also have fun. Many wonderful
friendships have blossomed and flourished throughout the years. We look
forward to welcoming new members—there is always a place for singers,
and musicians. We practice each Thursday at 7:30 PM in the church
sanctuary. |
