Extraordinary Ministers of Communion
Do not let the title of this ministry daunt you. “Extra-ordinary” refers to those who are not ordained (priests/deacons) – the laity. This ministry is available to all Confirmed parishioners, age 16 years and older. Ministers follow a schedule that closely fits their availability of time and commitment. Since there are multiple Masses and Communion stations at each Mass, there is always a need for ministers.

Gushers (Greeters/Ushers)
This ministry is often the first encountered by parishioners when they enter the worship environment. They offer a warm welcome to those entering church for our Saturday and Sunday Liturgies. “Gushers” are ministers of hospitality who greet, answer questions, seat, recruit gift bearers, take up collections and assist with the Communion procession.

St. Cletus St. Fiacre Society
The St. Cletus Fiacre Society is named after the 7th Century Irish Monk, the patron Saint of Gardeners. This volunteer ministry helps beautify our campus through the maintenance of flower beds, planting spring and fall annuals around campus buildings, concentrating on the entrances to our church, rectory and Parish Center. Green thumbs welcomed (although this is not a requirement).
