Children's  Liturgy of the Word:  On most Sundays during the school year we dismiss children from the 9:30 am mass for a special service in the parish hall where they listen to the same gospel with age appropriate language and a short homily.  They rejoin the congregation before Communion.

Social Action & Justice Commission:  This active group meets monthly, collects food year round for others, coordinates the Christmas and Easter Giving Tree and plans an annual forum for the parish.  New members welcome!

Choir:  Newcomers are always welcome to the Adult Choir.  Rehearsals are Tuesday evenings in the church.  Contact Jim Barkovic for info.    Youth & Children's Choir sings once a month at the 9:30 am mass.  Call the rectory.

Altar Society :  Volunteer teams are assigned each week to set up and clean the altar after masses.  This is a wonderful ministry for those short of time.

Flower Ministry:  Help is always needed to get flowers, make arrangements and keep them watered!  Even if you have never done an arrangement before, you will be amazed at what is possible.  Teams of volunteers rotate each weekend.
