Liturgical Services

In addition to attending as part of the congregation, parishioners are invited to participate in Mass by volunteering to be:

• Holy Eucharist to the Sick

Composed of children and young adults who assist priests in the service of the altar during the celebration of Mass.  They serve regularly at Sunday and weekly Masses and other special liturgies.  

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
"The Church was born of the pashal mystery.  For this reason the Eucharist, which is in an outstanding way the Sacrament of the paschasl mystery, stands at the center of the Church's life"
For further information, call Ana Lara at (323 221-3179. 

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the Sick
These ministers are commissioned to take Holy Communion to the sick, homebound and those confided Convalescent and Skilled Nurse Facilities to those who cannot worship with us.  As they visit, they share the Word of God as well as the Body of Christ to give consolation and spiritual comfort to those going through illness and in need of support.  This ministry is coordinated by a team of volunteers.  

Lectors
"Christ is present in the liturgy through the Eucharist, the priest and the assembly that prays and sings.  He is also present in the Word since it is He Himself who speaks when the holy Scriptures are read in the Church." - Matthew 18:20

Proclaiming the Word of God is much more complex than simply standing in front of the assembly and reading a text.  It involves the proper understanding and appreciation of scripture, careful preparation, the use of the voice, and attention to acoustics and liturgical movement.  

Music Ministry
Those who offer their musical talents for leading the assembly in sung prayer are pastoral musicians that serve as accompanists, instrumentalists, cantors, and choir members.  The Music Ministry enchances the liturgy with songs and instrumental music and enriches the lives of the participants.  Singers:  Anyone with a love and aptitude for music is welcome.  An ability to read music is welcome.  An ability to read music is not a requirement.  Musicians:  Anyone who can play an instrument at a proficient leval is welcome.  

Contact Thomas Gallegos - Music Director at (323) 221-3179.  

Sacristans
The Sacristans fulfill an important role in the care of the sacred linens and furnishings and sometimes assists with the environment for the various seasons of the church year.  As a norm, sacristans are often responsible for setting out the followint items prior to worship:  bread, wine, water, towels, purificators, vessels, liturgical books, candles, altar cloths, vestments, incense and holy water (when used).   

Ushers
Today, the ministry of usher involves much more than collecting money and serving as doorkeeper.  The ministry of usher is perhaps the most important for setting the tone for worship.  The usher, who should be comfortable meeting and greeting others, extends a welcome to others prior to prayer.  Collections, as offerings to God, have always been part of our preparation for the Eucharistic prayer.  We place before the altar the work of human hands.  

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
Exposition is a manner of honoring the Holy Eucharist, by exposing Him, with proper solemnity, to the view of the faithful in order that they may pay their devotions before Him.  
Fridays at 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the church, except on days where special Masses are celebrated.  
 

Además de asistir como parte de la congregación, los feligreses están invitados a participar en la Misa ofreciéndose como voluntarios para ser:
