Extraordinary Ministers
of the Eucharist (EME)
Extraordinary Ministers welcome each member of the Body of Christ as a brother or sister in the Lord and make the moment of communion both personal and communal. Ministers serve at ONE of the weekend Masses, and are scheduled to serve every third week. They also serve on Holydays and at special liturgies. Those who can commit to weekday Masses assist with both the bread and the cup. Training sessions are held in Spring and Fall.

Family Liturgy Committee
The Family Liturgy Committee helps plan and organize liturgies for the 8:30 a.m. Family Mass. They use Church resources and purchase or create handouts and activities for the children's Christmas Eve play and other special events. Members attend the 8:30 a.m. Sunday Mass. They meet on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month.

Intercessions Committee
Before each meeting, members reflect privately on the Scriptures for the upcoming Sunday. One member of the group composes intercessions keeping in mind the Scripture Readings as well as the needs of our world. These intercessions are then discussed, revised and finalized at the weekly meeting which is held at a time determined by the group in the Church Office.

Lectors
Lectors are those men and women who proclaim God's Word at weekday and weekend Masses. Acceptance into the program is followed by a series of five workshops. After commissioning, lectors read 3 or 4 times in a nine week period at weekend Masses, and when available, at daily Mass.

Teen Lectors
Teen lectors proclaim the Word of the Lord at the 8:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday or the 6:00 p.m. Life Teen Mass. Upon acceptance into the program there is ongoing training, usually on Tuesday evening. Teen Lectors must be in grades 6 - 12.

Ministers of Hospitality
Ushers are those men, women and children of all ages who welcome and host weekend Masses as well as Holydays, Civic Holidays, and special occasions. These ministers of hospitality create a prayerful atmosphere for worship. They seat people in a caring and orderly manner and assist those with special needs. They also direct Communion lines with reverent attention. Training sessions are scheduled as needed.

The ministry is open to all men and women who are registered members of Espiritu Santo Catholic Church and are practicing Catholics. Training is scheduled as the need arises.
