Join with other members of the community to plan for the liturgical needs of St. Camillus. Bring your creativity and love for liturgy and share your ideas for liturgies for Sunday Eucharistic Celebrations and special liturgies, including celebrations for holy day Masses.  Meetings are held the third Monday of each month.

You can work behind the scenes to help maintain the beauty of the altar in a number of ways -- laundering and ironing of the linens, altar cloths, purificators, and towels at home, and/or help with the church decorations. Repair, clean and maintain vestments.

Assist children and adolescents in understanding liturgy, and train them to proclaim the word at liturgies throughout the year and on special feast days

As a layperson (at least eighteen years of age), you play a vital role during mass when you help with the distribution of Communion at Mass and to the sick and homebound.  Please note:  You need to have received the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Proclaim the Scripture readings with reverence and understanding at weekly and special liturgies and lead the congregation in prayer. A dedicated willingness to prepare the readings and proclaim them well is the sign of a good lector.  You will also read the intercessions in the Prayers of the Faithful and make any announcements after communion.

Add to the beauty and prayerful atmosphere of St. Camillus by keeping it clean, orderly, and decorated for our liturgical seasons.  Assist with flower arrangements and with decorating the church for special liturgies. 

Make a “Joyful noise unto the Lord” by leading the congregation in musical celebration at Masses and on special occasions. For most choirs you are welcome with any skill level as a musician or singer. Sight reading skills are helpful but not required.  Rehearsal and mass schedule times are described below for each regular and special music ministry.

Would you be willing to help create a welcoming atmosphere and assist in practical matters of worship before, during, and after Mass? Arrive 30 minutes before Mass to seat parishioners, recruit and help families to carry gifts at the offertory procession; pass the collection baskets; guide orderly flow at communion time; maintain security; help distribute the Sunday bulletin and other approved handouts after Mass, and tidy up the church when done.

Welcome people to St. Camillus and act as a gracious host or hostess before Mass and make the people you greet feel part of our St. Camillus family. As a greeter, you’ll welcome parishioners with a warm smile and a hand shake, paying special attention to those needing assistance entering the church as well as visitors and newcomers. Arrive at least 20 minutes before mass and attend one training session per year.
