CHOIRS
Throughout the year the parish community is graced by the talents and commitments of its choir members. Their devotion to music as a means of enhancing the liturgy is a gift to the entire parish and its friends.

EXTRA ORDINARY MINISTERS OF THE EUCHARIST
These ministers assist in the distribution of the Eucharist on Sunday and weekdays. Some also assist in bringing Holy Communion to the Homebound and to the Hospital (which is listed under the Spiritual Life Commission). Some also serve on Sunday as greeters. Their expression of a warm welcome is a statement to visitors of the warmth and generosity of our parish community.
