St. Joseph has many mass ministries that are dependent on you. Please contact the parish office if you are interested in serving the Church.

Communion to Homebound – There is a small list of parishioners who are unable to attend Mass on the weekend, and the Communion to Shut-ins team members take them communion, prayers, and news of the parish community weekly.
Eucharistic Minister – Responsibilities at Mass include preparing the bread and wine for the Eucharistic celebration and distributing the Body and Blood of Christ to the gathered community and/or the homebound. Training is provided.
Lector – Lectors proclaim the Word of the Lord at all Masses. They prepare by studying and practicing the readings from a lector workbook. Training is provided for confirmed parishioners to assist during the celebration of Mass and other liturgical events. Lectors are scheduled approximately once a month.
Music – If you have a musical talent, whether with your voice or with an instrument, we would love to have you as a part of our choir! The choir practices on Sunday mornings from 9:45-10:45am at the PAC. Come and lend us your voice! Please email Gregory Elchert if you are interested.
Sacristan – Sacristans are volunteers responsible for the preparation of Mass set-up on the weekends. Sacristans ensure that ministers sign in and that the Church/Carpenter Hall and sacred vessels are ready for Mass. Volunteers sign up for the Mass they wish to coordinate. Note: we currently do not have a group of sacristans, and are trying to get this started.
Server – Parishioners in the fifth grade and already made First Communion through adult to assist during the celebration of Mass and other liturgical events. Servers aid the presider with sacred vessels, liturgical books, incense (when used) and lighting of candles. Training is provided.
Usher/Greeter – Duties at Mass include directing people to seats, taking up monetary collections, guiding parishioners to Communion, distributing surveys/literature and the church bulletin, and welcoming people prior to Mass.
