Serving the Lord

Do you want to be more active in the Celebration of the Mass?


We invite you to prayerfully consider participating in one of our many Liturgical Ministries. From behind-the-scenes preparation to active leading of the congregation; from small children to the most seasoned members of our community; there’s a place for everyone at our “table.”

  • Altar Linens

    The Altar Linens Ministry launders and takes care of all of the linens needed during the celebration of the Eucharist to ensure they are ready for use in our liturgies. Volunteers pick up the used linens from the Church at the beginning of each week to wash and iron. The linens are returned to the church by the end of the week. The time commitment us usually 2-3 hours each month.

    Altar Servers assist the Celebrant before and during Mass, especially during the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

  • Baptismal Garments

    This special ministry began with the first baptism at Pax Christi in the early 1990s. Ministers embroider the names of the children baptized in our parish onto baptismal garments, which are them framed and displayed in the Great Hall. The time commitment us usually about 30 minutes each month, 5-10 times per year.

  • Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs)

    Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, or EMHCs for short, assist the priest or bishop in distributing Holy Communion during the celebration of the Eucharist. These “extraordinary ministers” receive specialized training and instruction to ensure that they know what to do with the precious body and blood of Christ in every situation. EMHCs can choose to serve in a variety of ways: at Mass on Sundays, in nearby hospitals, or at individuals’ homes or residential facilities. Click here to learn more.

  • Hospitality

    A Hospitality Minister is a God-centered host/hostess who sees an opportunity to see Jesus in everyone who walks through our doors. They are often the first face that parishioners and visitors see at Pax Christi. Hospitality Ministers’ responsibilities include: greet people and offer assistance, distribute the offertory baskets, guide Communion lines, hand out bulletins and say goodbye after Mass, straighten missals and pews in preparation for the next service. Children and parents can serve together. Teens and adults are welcome to join as individual ushers. The time commitment is usually only 1 – 2 Masses per month with initial training and annual update training.

They are asked to commit to 4-5 Masses per quarter. Training and support are provided.
