“In the celebration of Mass the faithful form a holy people, a people whom God has made his own, a royal priesthood, so that they may give thanks to God and offer the spotless Victim not only through the hands of the priests but also together with him, and so that they may learn to offer themselves.” -General Instruction to the Roman Missal, no. 95
We are called to worship God by virtue of our baptism. On Sundays we come together to praise God, to pray for the needs of the world, to be fed by the holy Scripture, to receive Christ in the Eucharist, and to take Christ out to the world. Our baptismal call also manifests itself in the mandate to serve others and to use our gifts to glorify God.
Volunteers in the areas of music and liturgy are engaged not only as volunteers of their time and talent, but as ministers. Ministers are needed in a variety of areas.
