Extra Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) at St Mary, Mt Angel are lay individuals that participate in the Mass by administering the consecrated Body and Blood of Christ to the congregation as part of the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. An EMHC goes through an Archdiocesan set formation to understand and become familiar with the procedures in distributing Holy Communion to the congregation. To be commissioned as a Communion Minister, you must be a confirmed adult in good standing with the Catholic Church (attend Mass on a regular basis).

You must be a registered parishioner here at St Mary, Mt Angel to serve as a Communion Minister.

One of the first ways our children can begin participating in the liturgy is by becoming Altar Servers! Altar Servers assist the priest at Mass and exemplify the congregation during the liturgy.

To become an Altar Server, a boy or girl must be baptized, have received First Holy Communion, and be in the third grade or higher. Altar Server recruitment and formation is typically in mid-to-late September (after the school year begins), and shortly after our First Communion weekend for our second graders. You do not need to attend a Catholic school to become an Altar Server.

If your child(ren) would like to become an Altar Server, please use the form below to contact our trainers. You must be a registered parishioner here at St Mary, Mt Angel, for your child(ren) to be an Altar Server.

Upcoming Training Workshop Dates March 5, from 3 PM - 5PM in the Church

We Livestream our main Masses in English and Spanish each weekend, and when requested also Weddings and Funerals.  The camera operator is responsible for starting and stopping these Livestream events and operating the cameras we have throughout a given service.  This is an important ministry to the homebound and beyond.

We are seeking operators who are open to being on a roster once a month for one weekend Mass.  If you would like to be trained for this new ministry by emailing me on the above email.

Camera Operators must be over 17 years of age and have a good sense of using computer equipment.  Full training will be given.
