Greeters

Greeters welcome every single person who comes to church, remembering that every person has a place here.  Greeters show love and hospitality, knowing that Jesus welcomes all into his Father's house and loves them as members of his Body.

Lectors (Readers)

Picture
Lectors proclaim the word of God reverently and in such a way that people hear clearly every word said.  We believe that God is truly present in the word that is proclaimed at Mass.

Lay leaders of Prayer

Lay Leaders of Prayer assist in the parish when a priest is not available to lead prayer services such as Stations of the Cross, Liturgy of the Word, Morning and Evening Prayer, and vigil services at funerals.  IHM is blessed with six women and men who have been commissioned by the bishop for this important ministry.
