St. Paul Ministries encompass a wide range of liturgical, social, and educational services, including liturgical roles (lectors, servers, music), sacramental preparation, and community outreach. Many of these groups were organized to build faith, community, and charity.
Please let the St. Paul church office, leader of the ministry, or committee coordinator know if you would be interested in any of the groups detailed below.
Ministries List
Altar Servers (Adult & Youth)
Altar servers assist the Priest with the Mass and other liturgical functions. Essential tasks they perform include carrying the cross and candles, holding prayer books, preparing the altar, assisting with the gifts (bread/wine), washing the priest’s hands, and managing incense. Their role requires reverence, familiarity with the liturgy, and proper attire (cassock/surplice or appropriate dress). The ministry offers youth and adults a way to serve, grow in faith, and draw closer to the mysteries of the Eucharist. Servers bring beauty and reverence to the liturgy, helping the congregation experience the sacredness of the Mass. Their service helps others believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It’s a way to “love Christ through serving,” reflecting the motto Serviendo Christus Digitur. Children in St. Paul School and the Religious Education Program are trained to be altar servers in the third grade. If a server is unable to serve the mass they are scheduled for, it is their responsibility to find a replacement.
