Liturgical Ministries
-
-
One way to glorify God is to serve Him by helping others worship Him at Mass. This is a solemn opportunity that ennobles those who serve as well as those who are served. This means that we take the time to be trained, prepared by prayer, and ready to serve in a manner that speaks to dignity of the divine proceedings.
If you are interested in one of the liturgical ministries, please submit your information using the volunteer form or contact the Parish Office at 423-745-4277.

Altar ServersAn altar server assists in the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass while providing a liturgical worship experience that is most noble and deserving of God. From transporting processional items such as the crucifix, candles, or incense, to helping prepare and clear the altar, or highlighting the most sacred moments with the ringing of bells, an altar server who is truly committed and devoted to his ministry and the glory of God can transform and elevate the liturgy in such ways that hearts and minds of participants are touched profoundly and drawn to God.

Lectors
Lectors proclaim the Word of God during Mass and on special occasions. It is important for lectors to believe that Sacred Scripture is the Word of God and have deep respect for God's presence in that Word. "Lector" may literally be "reader," but a ministerial lector does not simply read. A ministerial lector strives to read so to the Voice of the Lord is heard in the midst of His Church.
