Youth and young adult servers assist during weekend Masses providing a valuable ministry. Youth, in the fourth grade and older are invited to serve. Teens and young adults are especially encouraged to serve as you provide not only service at Mass but also a great witness to your peers and our community.
Lectors share God’s Word by proclaiming the readings at Sunday Mass. Training and resources are provided and scheduling is arranged to suit individual needs. Teens and young adults are especially encouraged to serve as lectors. Families may also minister together at the same Mass: parent with child, siblings, etc.

At Mass:
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion assist as needed in the distribution of the Holy Eucharist. Church law requires that ministers be fully initiated in the Church (having received Confirmation) and be living lives in accordance with the Church Law ( If married, married in the Church, etc.)
To the Sick and Home Bound:
A valuable ministry in bringing the Sacrament to those who cannot attend Mass, either to their private homes, nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Training is provided and scheduling can be tailored to individual needs.
In addition to our regular parishioners, St. Lucy's also enjoys the presence of many visitors and guests throughout the year. First impressions of the parish can be shaped by the welcome received. A kind word, smile, and a greeting (maybe directions to the restrooms!) can have a profound impact.

This year the Children's Liturgy of the Word classes will be held during the rest of the age groups' Faith Formation classes on Sundays at 9am, before the 10:30am Mass. This is so as to allow for our little people to have an explaination of the readings at their own level ahead of time, so that they can understand what is going on in the readings when they are then present with their families for those same readings at the 10:30am Mass. When Christ tells us, "Let the little children come to me,"(Mattew 19:14) He is calling even the youngest to be present to His words in the readings and Gospel at Mass, when we are all present together as one family united in the Body of Christ.
