 Liturgical  Ministries

Altar Servers

As the Altar Servers ministry, we assist the celebrant and the worshiping community in the celebration of the Liturgy of the Mass. The ministry of assisting the priest, deacon, and people of God at Mass is a great way to give glory to God by serving God and His people.


It is our mission to help our altar servers to grow in faith, love and unity with God, others and the faith community of St Andrew’s Parish. 


As an altar server you will be involved in some of the most sacred celebrations of the Catholic tradition. The Eucharist is central to our living the sacramental life. Mostly, altar servers serve at Mass on Saturdays and Sundays. For those that attend St. Andrew's School or another Catholic school may have the opportunity to serve at school Masses. The servers keep things running smoothly and are attentive to what is happening in the liturgy. One thing is for sure, you often get to be up close to where all the action is happening.


Our Altar Server ministry consists of youth, between 7 years old and 18 years old who have received 1st Holy Communion. Boys and girls who are able to perform the duties of alter servers can serve. Training is scheduled several times during the year and the trainings are announced in the bulletin. Once trained, you will be scheduled for Mass. 


Some of the things we do to accomplish our mission are: 


  • Training and learning about the liturgy 
  • Serving at the altar 
  • Field trips (Catholic Lagoon day, Museum of natural curiosity, Classic Fun Center, Bluffdale park)

       Extraordinary Ministers of Communion            

To be an Extraordinary Minister of Communion is a profound ministry assisting the priests and deacons (the ordinary ministers of communion) to distribute the Body and Blood of Christ to the faithful.

With further training one can also bring communion to the sick and homebound.

Hospitality

“Let all guests who arrive be received as Christ.” Rule of St. Benedict 53:1



Minister of Hospitality

As a Minister of Hospitality, you are likely the first point of contact for those who come to St. Andrew. Many who come through these doors are regular parishioners you know and love. But many others are visitors. Others are not Catholic or even Christian and are wondering if this place is for them. Whoever you encounter remember the admonition of Saint Benedict to receive all who come as Christ. The Ministers of Hospitality greet people as they come in, assist with distribution of bulletins at the end of Mass, and are available to answer basic questions and direct parishioners and visitors.

Ushers

Ushers assist people finding their seats (especially when the seating fills up and after Mass has begun). They are also responsible for taking the collection and assisting as needed in other ways.

 Lectors


The ministry of the Word is for those who have a great love of Scripture. As a Lector, you do more than simply "read out loud at Mass."  You will proclaim the Word of God in the midst of the Church gathered in prayer. Faith is nurtured through the Word of God proclaimed. This ministry is open to any baptized Catholic 12 years old and older.
