Each Mass requires more preperation than you probably think; doors need to be unlocked, lights and A/C need to be turned on, Chalices, hosts, wine and water need to be ready for each congregation, the day's readings need to be prepared, linens need cleaning and more.
As it is, Mr. Eiffel and Mrs. Suzie already do a great job, but we could realy use some more help.
If interested in assisting, please speak with Fr. Antonio.
You may remember (and really not that long ago) when Holy Family had a strong group of young altar servers. All that fell away over the last few years during the time the parish never had a long-lasting on-site parish priest. We are now attempting to build the team up again; if you are interested in altar serving, join us for one of our training nights, posted in the bulletin.
We are blessed to have members of our community willing to volunteer their time and talent towards our music ministry. While we have the Little Friars and Nuns in the parish, they also assist with music on the 3rd and 4th Sundays of each month. We invite parishioners to join them in singing in the choir, joining them firstly for practice at 5pm after the 3rd and 4th Saturday vigil Mass each month. If you play an instrument, we would also love to use your talent! Please attend one of our rehearsals. Anyone is welcome, including youth.

Otherwise known as "Extraordinary Ministers" our Communion Ministers help distribute the Holy Eucharist during Mass, but in particular take Jesus to our homebound. We are always in need of more Communion Ministers. Please speak with Fr. Antonio if you can our community in such a way.
Reading takes a special gift and effort to "pronounce" the Word of God to the congregation. We often find ourselves struggling to find someone to read the Word for Mass or read the announcements, so please help us bring the Word to our ears by offering your voice to the service of God and His people.
