Art & Environment Ministers assist in the seasonal changing of liturgical settings. The environment of the community's worship assists the faithful to realize God's presence and to express its public worship.

On behalf of the parish community, Baptism Coordinators welcome infants and children under the age of 7 as sons and daughters of God and members of the Church through the waters of the Sacrament of Baptism. These ministers prepare the necessary supplies for the celebration and assist the clergy during the rite.

Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is on the First Friday of the month and every Friday during Lent & Easter in the Chapel following the 9:00am Mass. Quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament continues until 6:15p.m. followed by closing prayer and song.

Sign up at the Welcome Center in the Narthex of the church.

Eucharistic Visitors bring the Blessed Sacrament to the sick and the homebound in hospitals, nursing homes, private homes, and extended care facilities. Through their ministry, those who are unable to attend Mass continue to partake in the Eucharistic banquet. Eucharistic Visitors also carry love, hope, and prayers from the community to our absent family members and ask for their prayers for us.

To receive Holy Communion from a Eucharistic Visitor, please call the Administrative Assistant to the Clergy at 281-290-4617.

Instituted Acolytes are recommended or invited by the Pastor to serve.

Through the ministry of the lector within the liturgy, God speaks to the people and Christ proclaims his Gospel. Persons interested in this ministry must be willing to demonstrate and develop their gifts in public proclamation of the Word.

Masters of Ceremonies "see to the appropriate arrangement of sacred actions and to their being carried out by the sacred ministers and lay faithful with decorum, order, and devotion" (GIRM 106).

Through vocal and instrumental music, this ministry of adults and young people supports and strengthens the community's interior commitment of faith and worship. 

Choirs include children, teens, and adults supported by accompanists, chime and bell ringers, and instrumentalists who play ensemble and orchestra. Choir members attend a weekly rehearsal to prepare for weekend Masses and holy days.

The Plant Care Team is responsible for watering and caring for the plants that are part of the liturgical environments in the worship spaces.

Gathering together for prayer and fellowhip is essential to the Catholic way of life. These members of the community minister through their presence and support of parish activities and needs while growing stronger in their faith.

Preparation is key to a prayerful celebration. Sacristans minister through their care and concern for the altar, liturgical utensils and supplies, as well as liturgical vestments.

Sound Techs operate the sound mixer board and lights at Masses and other liturgies. They may also operate video for special events. 

Videographers livestream daily and Sunday Masses as well as other liturgies when requested for those unable to attend in person.

Wedding Coordinators set up for weddings and run the rehearsals the night before.

At each liturgical celebration, we have a trained Worship Coordinator present to help prepare the altar, ensure that we have enough ministers, help the clergy prepare, and do all the "behind the scenes" preparation that help the Mass be a great experience for all present.
