St John the EvangelistMinistries and Contacts

The active ministries are listed below with a brief description of the commitment involved and who to contact should you wish to begin participating in a particular ministry.

Lectors/Readers

  • Contact person:
  • Readers are asked to come to Mass at least 20 minutes early to make sure the books are set to the correct reading and to look over the announcements before reading them.  With enough readers, lectors will read about once or twice a month.  There are sometimes prayers to read to start and end Mass. Lectors also read the “Prayers of the Faithful.”  Readers are needed for Wednesday evenings, Thursday mornings, Saturday evenings, Sunday mornings, the first Friday of each month, and other special Masses that come up throughout the year.

 

Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers

  • Contact person: Vonselle Telles
  • Eucharistic Ministers help Father to administer communion during the Sunday Mass.  The other Masses are small enough attendance at this time that Father can handle it himself.  During special holiday Masses such as Easter and Christmas Eucharistic Ministers are also needed.  There is special training required.
    • We are looking for Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers who would be willing to take communion to our homebound parishioners after Mass on Sundays.  If you think this is something you would be able to help with please contact the office.

 

Music Ministry

  • Contact person: Luz Soza
  • Currently the choir meets for practice on Sunday’s before Mass at 7:50 AM until 8:30 AM
  • The choir sings at Sunday’s 9 AM Mass and some Saturdays and for special occasions such as funerals and weddings
    • We are looking for more musicians (guitars, flutes, etc) and more singers.  If the group becomes large enough we can begin to cover the Saturday evening Mass more regularly.
