The following ministries are exercised in our parish worship. All are welcome and encouraged to choose an area of service particular to their gift and calling. Each liturgical minister is scheduled to serve about once each month. To learn more about these ministries or to serve as a minister, contact the Director of Liturgy and Music at the parish office, 231-4955.
Lectors proclaim the scripture readings and lead the intercessory prayers at our liturgies.
Each is scheduled in advance to allow prayerful and technical preparation for the proclamation of the Word of God. Some ministers also serve the sick and homebound of our community. These ministers also assist in seating as necessary, distribute service leaflets and announcement bulletins, and receive the offerings. Sunday Hospitality is the time for the entire community of St. Philip Neri to get together over a cup of coffee or tea and cookies and to get to know each other a little bit better. Hospitality hour takes place in the foyer of the church and begins as soon as the Mass has ended.
