Altar Servers assist the presider and deacon at liturgy. Altar Servers give their attention to various tasks including assisting with the book of prayers, setting and clearing the altar, and taking care of the candles, incense and processional cross. Altar servers know the order of liturgy and serve with grace and reverence. Altar Servers are boys and girls 5th grade and older who assist at Mass. Training is provided.

Greeters and ushers help to set the tone for the liturgy as they greet arriving worshipers. The ushers and greeters are the first faces arriving worshipers see.  Of course, a greeter or an usher needs the gift of hospitality, so that he or she is comfortable welcoming our regular worshipers and our visitors. Also helpful is a sense of liturgical prayer. As he or she distributes worship aids, assists with seating, gives attention to someone who may not feel well, or gathers the collection, there should be an awareness that Mass is not a spectator sport. It requires the full, active participation of all present. As the usher attends to the special needs of the day, he or she helps the liturgy run smoothly and contributes to the overall sense of worship.
