Jesus at the Last Supper.

Ushers/Greeters: Families, teens, men & women make up this welcoming ministry at Sunday liturgies. They play an important part in the smooth functioning of the service. Welcoming parishioners, distributing bulletins, taking up the collection, and attending to emergencies are among their duties. Contact Susan Bellor through the Parish Office for more information.

Mass Tapers: Through the good graces of radio station WMSA, we are able to tape our Sunday 9:30 AM Mass for broadcast at 6:30 PM the same evening. Shut-ins can keep their connection to the local parish. Standard taping equipment in the sacristy is easy to use. Tapers rotate weekends. For more information contact Sr. Juliana Fitzpatrick at the Parish Office.

Sanctuary Cleaners: Volunteers in teams of two wash Mass vessels, change altar linens, and keep the sanctuary clean and in order. They are assigned every six weeks. For more information contact Val LaGarry through the Parish Office.

Sacred Heart Garden Club: If you like the outdoors, have a green thumb, and like to see the Parish grounds looking beautiful, this is the ministry for you. A spring, summer and fall activity, it has brought many compliments to the Parish. For more information contact Eileen Boots through the Parish Office.
