Altar Servers<br />
Being an altar server is a special honor and a great<br />
privilege in the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>. Through this unique<br />
ministry a young person can spread the message of<br />
Christ through their actions and words. Being an altar<br />
server is not difficult, but you must have received your<br />
First Holy Communion and attend training. We need<br />
additional youth altar servers for the Sunday 5:00pm<br />
Holy Mass.<br />
Please contact C.J. Costino at (248) 390-7560 or at<br />

Arimathean Ministry<br />
Arimatheans are caring parishioners who wish to<br />
support their brothers and sisters in Christ who have<br />
experienced the loss of loved ones. This ministry reflects<br />
the good works of <strong>St</strong>. Joseph of Arimathea. As representatives<br />
of our faith community, they attend funerals<br />
of dear ones. They honor the departed in a final act of<br />
love as they travel toward their heavenly home. Please<br />
call Kathleen Chin at 992-7937 for more information.<br />
Homebound Ministers<br />
Homebound Ministers have the privilege of taking the<br />
Lord, present in the Eucharist, to our fellow parishioners<br />
who are unable to attend Mass. Your visit will assure<br />
them that the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Leo</strong> Community is one in spirit<br />
and prayer with them. The rewards are many for those<br />
who have a small amount of time to devote to this ministry.<br />
Please contact Jack Hollmeyer at (586) 214-7452.<br />
