USHERS AND GREETERS
They make those, who come through the doorways of our
church, feel welcome and home by greeting with a smile,
kind word and an attitude of love. What a wonderful way
to get to know people at our church and grow together as
the Body of Christ. We need ushers and greeters. For
more information please contact the Parish office or Fr.
Mirek.
LECTORS
Lectors proclaim the Word of God through the first two
readings. They also make announcements before the
liturgy. We are in need of lectors. Please contact the
Parish office or Fr. Mirek.
EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist assist in sharing
the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ with the congregation
as well as in our local hospitals and nursing homes.
Please contact the Parish office or Fr. Mirek if you would
like more information.
MUSIC MINISTRY
Music ministry provides support for the liturgy. Through
thoughtful musical choices and preparation, the music
ministry helps the congregation enter into fuller
participation in the liturgy. For more information please
contact the Parish office or Paul Racki our music
director.
ALTAR SERVERS
The primary role of the altar server is to assist the priest
in the celebration of the Mass. This is done through
specific actions and by setting an example to the
congregation by active participation in the liturgy. We are
blessed to have ten altar servers at St. Joseph - St.
Lazarus. Any child that has received First Holy
Communion can be an Altar Server. Please contact the
Parish office or Fr. Mirek for more information.
WHY CATHOLIC?
This program is a wonderful way to renew and expand
our understanding of our Catholic faith. Many of us are
Catholics, without really knowing why, except that we
were raised that way. Others are Catholics who have
fallen out of practice and are looking for a way to fill that
’empty’ space. In either way, “Why Catholic?” is an easy
path to begin the journey to explore and understand our
faith. Please contact Parish office or Val Brauer at
617.842.4007.
FUNDRISING COMMITTEE
The Committee plans and carries out many interesting
and enjoyable activities for the Parish. These activities
support the various ministries and deepen our sense of
community. If you like to bake, serve, plan events, etc.
and would like to help out please contact the Parish
office.
