St. Patrick Parish encourages its parishioners to participate in one of our liturgical, social or music ministries. If you are interested, please contact the parish office.
Altar Server |
Altar servers assist the priest in preparing for Mass. The servers take part in the liturgy by performing tasks to help the priest celebrate Eucharist.
Tasks such as lighting candles and incense; preparing the altar; holding the Roman Missal; and carrying the processional cross are all done by the altar servers.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion |
These ministers help to distribute the body and blood of Jesus at Mass. They assist the priest in putting away the sacred vessels and preparing for the next Mass. |
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the Sick |
Parishioners assist the priest in providing pastoral care to the sick and homebound of the parish. The ministers take Eucharist to the sick whether they are at home, a personal care home or a nursing home. |
Greeters |
Parishioners greet and welcome all at the front door of the church. They assist members of the assembly, especially visitors. |
