Purpose
Ministers of the Word help bring the Word of God to parishioners as they proclaim the word of God at Masses and special liturgies. They impart the spirit of the Word in a reflective way as they read the first and second readings. Commentators are responsible for reading announcements before the mass and at the close based on coordination with the Liturgy leader/priest requirements.

Provide a clean and pleasing environment in which to worship and pray. Several teams work (usually once a month) to keep our sacred spaces ready for worship. They coordinate to ensure the appropriate color dressings are on the altar and candles are available and appropriately placed in the worship space.
