Altar Servers
Boys and girls from 4th grade through high school are invited to serve as altar servers at St. Michael’s. This is a meaningful way for young people to actively participate in the life of the Church and grow in their faith.
Altar servers assist primarily at weekend Masses, and may also be called upon to serve at funerals or weddings as needed.
Training is typically held in the fall, and each spring, we host a special recognition dinner to thank our servers for their dedication and service.
Interested in becoming an altar server or learning more? Contact the parish office—we’d love to hear from you!
Lectors
Students in 4th grade and older, as well as adults, are welcome to serve as Lectors at St. Michael’s.
Lectors have the special responsibility of proclaiming the Scriptures and reading the Prayers of the Faithful at weekend Masses and on Holy Days of Obligation. No prior experience is necessary—just a clear speaking voice and a willingness to serve.
If you or your child are interested in becoming a lector, please contact the parish office for more information and training opportunities.
Sunday Saints - Children's Liturgy of the Word
During Sunday Masses at St. Michael’s, children are invited to participate in Sunday Saints, a special ministry designed just for them. After the opening prayers, children are dismissed from the main assembly to gather with a teacher who shares the Liturgy of the Word in a way that’s meaningful and engaging for their age level. Through storytelling, prayer, and discussion, the children explore the Sunday readings and gospel in a way they can understand and apply. Sunday Saints helps our youngest parishioners grow in faith and feel connected to the Mass—giving them a strong foundation in both Scripture and community.
