As Lent approaches and we contemplate our personal Lenten resolutions, some give up certain pleasures like desserts or television shows while others may commit to saying extra prayers or doing additional works of charity.  Here's a suggestion that will result in a significant amount of personal satisfaction while filling a need within the parish:  Please consider giving your time to one of the various liturgical ministries that need help.  There are opportunities in the following areas:  Music, Eucharistic Ministers, Sacristans, Lectors, Altar Servers, Ushers, Gift Bearers.

Prior to the Masses on the first two weekends in February, a representative of the Liturgy Commission will give a brief presentation highlighting the duties, prerequisites (if any), and time requirements for each ministry.  Parishioners will then have the opportunity to sign-up for whatever ministry in which they have an interest.  Please consider giving the gift of time and talents to Our Lord and your fellow parishioners by becoming involved in one of the Liturgical Ministries.
