[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”The Heart” heading_tag=”h1″ main_heading_color=”#dd3333″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]The primary aim of each ministry and every volunteer is that everyone who comes to the parish for a weekend Mass knows that they are loved and called to worship.
Loved means that they are welcome, wanted, and known. Our church is a better place because they are here, and we want them to know that this is how we see them.
Called to worship means that they are welcomed into something sacred. The way we pray, talk, and carry ourselves, including by genuflecting and participating throughout Mass, should encourage people to enter into prayer with us.
There are moments when our focus is more on welcome and love, such as before and after Mass. And there are moments when our focus in more on worship, such as during Mass, and when we are in the church and chapel before Mass.
This means that all of our ministry should flow out of a life of prayer and relationship with Christ. We want to love others as Christ loved us and worship the Father as Christ worshipped the Father.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”35711″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_rounded”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bwd_tbc4vd_show_weekday=”” el_id=”signupform” css=”.vc_custom_1612299662188{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1612299110390{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bwd_tbc4vd_show_weekday=”” full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1642429846185{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-bottom: 75px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Liturgy Coordinators” main_heading_color=”#004aad”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]
This role is mainly a “behind the scenes” position. Your job is to arrive early, unlock doors, turn on lights, and get the church ready for the parishioners. You will set up the credence table for Father and make sure the book with the readings is in place for the lectors. Another role as coordinator is to be sure all volunteers that have signed up for the ministries at your Mass time have arrived and are ready. A final role is to welcome and assist any early arriving parishioners or guests to St. Anne’s. If you feel called to be part of this ministry, it is time to say yes!
