An incredible way to serve is to be directly involved in the celebration of Mass and other services held in our Parish Church. There are opportunities for people of all ages; our children can serve as altar servers, while there are ample opportunities for adults to get involved as a Eucharistic Minister or Lector. Read below for more information concerning these and other opportunities to become involved in Liturgical Ministry here at St. Ignatius.
Altar Server
Altar server positions are available for children age 9 and older who are interested in assisting the priest during liturgies. Please watch the bulletin for altar server training sessions, which are usually held twice a year.Contacts
