Pray the Mass through song! The choir aids the faithful in praying the Mass by their gifts. The choir is responsible for the correct performance of the parts that belong to it and for helping the faithful to take an active part in the singing.
In the readings, the table of God’s Word is spread before the faithful, and the treasures of the Bible are opened to them. The reader reads from the ambo the readings that precede the Gospel. In the absence of a psalmist, the reader may also proclaim the Responsorial Psalm after the First Reading.
Ushers help to recieve people at Mass and aid in taking up the offertory.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion aid in visiting the sick and homebound.
