Liturgical Ministries

Liturgical ministry is an excellent opportunity to fulfill your baptismal call of service to one another. Our liturgies rely on the talents and gifts that God has given this community to the fullest extent.

Whether participation is through “behind the scenes” preparation and planning or through a public role of service within the Mass, parishioner contributions help our liturgies to be truly life-giving celebrations.

Please prayerfully consider joining one of these ministries.

Please review the Diocese of Phoenix guidelines on
​participating in these ministries:
