Worship Ministries at St. Gabriel Catholic Church


At St. Gabriel, our Worship Ministries are devoted to helping the parish community enter more fully and reverently into the sacred mysteries of our faith. These ministries serve at the heart of our liturgical life, supporting the celebration of the Holy Mass and other sacred rites by fostering prayerful participation and a spirit of welcome and reverence.


Through the service of dedicated volunteers, our Worship Ministries enhance the beauty, hospitality, and solemnity of our worship. These ministries include:


  • Ushers and Greeters: Welcoming all who gather in God's house, assisting with seating and collections, and providing a spirit of hospitality for parishioners and guests


  • Lectors: Proclaiming the Word of God during Mass with reverence, helping all to hear and reflect upon Sacred Scripture


  • Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion: Assisting priests and deacons in the distribution of the Eucharist at Mass, and sometimes bringing Communion to the sick and homebound


  • Altar Servers: Assisting the celebrant on the altar, helping to make the liturgy flow smoothly, and serving as examples of reverence for all


  • Music Ministry: Leading us in sung prayer, enriching our worship with hymns and sacred music that lift our hearts to God


  • Art & Environment: Preparing and beautifying our worship space for the seasons of the Church year, helping us enter more deeply into each celebration
