This is a great ministry for youth to serve the Lord, learn more about their faith, develop new relationships, stay “active” during the mass, earn community service hours, and serve with other family members.
The ministry is open to boys and girls who have made their first communion, and are registered parishioners. Newcomers must come to one basic altar server training offered every three months except during the summer. They serve once a month or more often if desired.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, or Eucharistic Adoration, is a time of prayer and worship before Christ present in the consecrated host, which is exposed in a monstrance or ciborium. Join us in our chapel for a time of adoration on Monday-Friday 6AM-10PM. In order to sustain this beautiful opportunity for worship, a minimum of two adorers must be present at all times, as the Blessed Sacrament cannot be left unattended. This is accomplished by a core group of volunteers who commit to a designated hour shift every week, either permanently or temporarily.

The SJN LINEN MINISTRY is responsible for cleaning the linens used during the MASS - the Corporals, Purificators and towels. The used Linens are picked up from the Sacristy during one’s scheduled week - washed, ironed and folded - and returned to the Sacristy by Friday of that week. We volunteer for the weeks we are available and the schedule is set for roughly 3-4 months at a time. We would love for you to join us!
