Acolytes, or altar servers, assist the priest as he celebrates the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This service is open to boys and girls from 4th grade onward. Adults serve at the weekday 7:30 A.M. Mass and at Funeral Masses. Volunteers are always welcome. Classes of instruction are held as needed. Contact: John Barton at johnb@sacredheartofmary.com
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 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.
