The Rosary is prayed approximately 25 minutes before Mass begins. The repetition in the Rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery. The gentle repetition of the words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where Christ's spirit dwells.
Anyone is welcome to lead the Rosary.
"Serving at the altar is a privileged way to draw closer to Jesus, which in turn enables you to open yourselves to others, to journey together, to set demanding goals and to find the strength to achieve them." Pope Francis, 2015
The primary duty of an Altar Server is to assist the priest during Mass. If you are feeling the call to become an Altar Server and have received the sacraments of Baptism and First Communion, please contact either Parish office.
Lectors hold a vital role during the Mass, as they proclaim the Word of God during the Liturgy of the Word. If you are feeling called to read the Sacred Scriptures, contact either Parish office to learn more about this opportunity.
