This ministry provides young parishioners, age 10 and up, with a true opportunity to function as lay ministers by reverently assisting the celebrant and/or deacon during Sunday Mass and at special liturgies throughout the year.
We are ALWAYS in need of more altar servers. If you wish to consider this ministry, please call Fr. Chet at 508 867-6469, speak to him after Mass, or email: rectory@sacredheartwb.com.
Lectors
Lectors proclaim the Word of God clearly and understandably so that all who hear may respond.
Musicians/Choir
The Ministry of Music provides music during weekend Masses, holy days, weddings, funerals and Reconciliation services. Parishioners are invited to share their musical talents with the rest of the congregation through this ministry.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
These lay people are sometimes referred to as Eucharistic Ministers. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion serve by bringing communion to parishioners who reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or in their own homes and unable to get to church. They also may assist the priest in distributing the Eucharist at Mass. For a current schedule, click on "Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion Schedule" at left.
Sacristans
Sacristans assist, facilitate, and provide support and coordination for other liturgical ministries. In addition, they make the necessary preparations for liturgical activities.
Collectors/Ushers
The collectors at the Mass play their role in the liturgy by organizing the collection of parishioners’ weekly gifts to the parish as well as their gift to special collections during the year. The collectors' efficiency helps prevent unnecessary delays at our Masses. For the current schedule, please click on "Usher Schedule" at left.
