The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Catholic faith. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass brings our entire community together to listen to the Word of God and partake of the Eucharistic feast. There are various roles within the liturgy that assist the priest and help the entire community to enter more fully into the celebration. Review some of the liturgical ministires below and if you are intersted, fill out the form at the bottom of the page or reach out to Fr. Tucker at tredding@archgh.org.
