As Pope St. John Paul II said in an address to Altar Servers, “You are much more than simple helpers of the parish priest. Above all, you are servers of Jesus Christ, the eternal High Priest.” St. Pius X Parish has many young children who are eager to assist Father in serving the Lord at our weekend and school Masses. Catholic children may start serving in fourth grade. Training sessions start in October. Dick Gregoire is in charge of training and scheduling. Please call 734-285-1100.
Our Adult Choir sings during weekend Masses under the direction of the Music Director. Contribute your voice to bringing more beauty and solemnity to the Mass giving glory to God.
As necessity demands, our volunteers help distribute Holy Communion at weekend and Holy Day Masses. Anyone who has been Confirmed in the Catholic faith, in reverence for Our Lord fully present in the Eucharist, is welcome to serve. A short training period is required. Contact Liz Ridenour at 734-283-1794.
Trained volunteers proclaim God’s Word with understanding and authority to the faithful at weekend Masses. The only skills required are to be able to read well, to have a special love for God’s Word, and to be a Confirmed Catholic of faith and prayer. Lectors are scheduled at least once a month. They also will attend a training session and receive a Lectors Workbook for preparation. Please call Liz Ridenour at 734-283-1794.
The sacristy is the room wherein all of the prep work for various liturgies is done. Our sacristans set up for weekend as well as weekday Masses, and assist with funerals and weddings. They maintain adequate supplies of hosts, wine and candles, and it is the sacristan who secures the church facility when all is complete. Anyone interested in this ministry should speak directly to the Pastor through the Parish Office at 734-285-1100.
This group serves our pastor and the parish in a variety of ways in a position of honor, trust, and responsibility. Ushers are assigned a Mass of their choice and are placed on a team that greets and assists parishioners, takes up collections, deals with emergencies, and distributes the bulletin. Meetings are held quarterly at the parish. Please call the Parish Office 734-285-1100.
