Altar Servers-Youth

We are looking for new young people to join the altar serving ministry. The objective of this family ministry is to involve the youth in our parish with the rites and rituals of the Mass and to foster a better knowledge of why we as Catholics do what we do at Mass on Sundays and feast days. If you had the opportunity to be an altar server as a youth or serve as a lay minister in the Mass currently, this is a beautiful way to share your faith journey with your child. 

If your son or daughter has had their First Holy Communion Sacrament and will be in Grades 3 - 12 in the next school year, we need their talent! This is their chance to learn more about the Mass and be part of a team of over 100 young people in our parish. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry, please contact Jacqui Sentmanat at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Your child can start serving over the summer or they can wait until after our August 17^th training session to be placed on the schedule.

Youths in fourth grade through high school assist the priest at the altar during Mass and other liturgical functions. Training is provided.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Eucharistic Ministers (Ems) joyfully assist at Mass with the distribution of Holy Communion. EMs volunteer to serve when available for weekend Masses, holy days, and special liturgies. Ministers must be confirmed, practicing Catholics, and registered members of St. Anne. Ministers must complete training and be approved by the Pastor.

Lectors

Lectors assist in proclaiming the Word of God to St. Anne Parish. Lectors are scheduled for weekends, holy days, Holy Week, and special liturgies. Open to confirmed parishioners; tryouts and training are required.

Sacristans

Sacristans support priests and other ministers in preparation for Mass by setting up all items required and being available during Mass should a need arise. They also return all items to proper storage following Mass. Sacristans must be confirmed practicing Catholics and registered members of St. Anne. Training is provided.

Ushers

At Mass, ushers greet parishioners, facilitate seating, take up the collection, distribute bulletins, and assist parishioners as needed. They also assist the Welcoming Committee with creating a warm and inviting atmosphere at St. Anne. Ushers also serve as needed at special Masses and events, such as First Communion, Confirmation, and archdiocesan events held at St. Anne Church.
