Liturgical Ministers/Server Schedule
APRIL 2013
MAY 2013
Altar Servers (Youth): Coordinator: Chad Nikkel chad@post-frame.com
Most of the altar servers at St. Mary's are young people. Boys and girls must be in the third grade or older to serve in this ministry. Servers are asked to select a Mass time that their family attends on a regular basis so that their attendance and service will be consistent. If interested in becoming a youth Altar Server, please contact us.
Altar Server (Adult): Coordinator: Ken C.
A Senior Server is any person, man or woman, over the age of 16 who would like to assist the presiding priest during mass. This is a new ministry at our parish. The Senior Server will serve on the alter with Father assisting him during mass. The Senior Server will over see the young alter servers while assist Father when needed. The Senior Server will greatly help Father so he can concentrate on the mass and not worry about the incidentals of the mass. This position is ideal for those who were alter servers 5, 10, 25, or 50 years ago or those who would be willing to learn this ministry. The mass has not changed all too much and training should be quite easy.
If interested in becoming a senior Altar Server, please contact us.
Eucharistic Ministers: Coordinator: Linda Picio lpicio@stmarymysticalrose.org

Stephen Ministry: Coordinator: Karen Klapatch kklapatch@stmarymysticalrose.org
Stephen Ministry is a confidential one-to-one caring ministry, in which a seed of hope is planted in a person who is going through a difficult time in their life. God is at the center of that relationship, to bring hope, comfort, understanding and empathy to the person who is hurting, and does not know where to turn. If you or someone you know could benefit from a Stephen Minister, contact us.
