Sacristan
The Sacristan serves as the “Director of the Liturgy” and works closely with the priest to ensure that the Mass is smoothly celebrated.  It is the responsibility of the Sacristan to assure that all ministers are present and ready, the gift bearers are selected, and the gifts are prepared.  Following the Liturgy, the Sacristan cleans the Sacred Vessels.  Click here for Sacristan guidelines.

Ministers of Holy Communion
Members of the Parish who have completed the sacraments of Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation can become Ministers of Holy Communion after a short training session.  They help the priest and deacon who are the ordinary ministers of this sacrament during the Holy Communion.  A Minister of Holy   Communion, also known as an extraordinary minister, becomes a privileged member of the church that administers the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ during the Liturgy or while visiting the sick, elderly, or homebound.   Click here for Minister of Holy Communion guidelines.

Readers
As a Minister of the Word, you bring to life the Old and New Testament personalities, happenings, and teachings at parish liturgical gatherings. This is a great opportunity to proclaim the Word of God to the assembly. Readers are needed for every Mass and other liturgical celebrations.  A short training session will prepare you for this challenging Ministry to proclaim the Sacred Scriptures for the assembly.  Click here for Minister of the Word guidelines.

Ushers
The bells of St. Boniface, St. Jacob, St. Joseph and St. Clara are calling you to this ministry!  A special task of this ministry is to ring the church bells before and after Masses to welcome all to our celebration. Our worshippers are in the capable hands of this ministry as the ushers create a welcoming and prayerful atmosphere. They greet parishioners as ministers of hospitality, assist individuals in seating, take up collections, assist people throughout the Liturgy, and distribute the parish bulletin.  This ministry allows you to meet your fellow parishioners on a regular basis. If you have a smile to give away, this is the ministry for you. 
For more information, contact ushers@st-boniface.com

Greeters
A Greeter is often the first person that worshippers meet when they arrive at our church.  The Greeters represent the rest of the assembly as they welcome and offer hospitality to everyone that enters the church.  A warm smile and word of welcome that reflects God’s love for them can help all worshippers easily enter and set the tone for full participation in the Celebration of the Liturgy.  A smile, the ability to open doors, and a few hand shakes are all the qualifications needed for this rewarding ministry.
For more information, contact greeters@st-boniface.com.

Server
Students who are open to sharing their time and faith in service at the Altar for Mass and other liturgical celebrations are encouraged to become servers.
