Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
EMOHC are men and women mandated by the Archbishop of Denver to share in the apostolic work of the Church when a true pastoral need exists as determined by the pastor, administrator or chaplain of a parish or institution.
All candidates must be at least age 18. They must be fully initiated into the Church with the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, must always ensure that their lives are in conformity with the teachings of the Church, including the teaching on married life and publicly affirm the magisterium of the Church.
Lectors
Lectors are adults who read God’s Holy Word at Mass. Meetings are called from time to time as needed.
Ushers/Greeters
The ushers and greeters support our celebration of Mass by greeting people as they arrive and assisting them, as needed, to find seating or other church facilities (e.g., crying room, lavatory, etc.) They collect the offering during Mass and distribute bulletins to departing churchgoers after Mass. They look after the needs of the congregation adjusting ventilation or heating and assisting in any emergency which may arise.
