Hospitality Ministries

Welcome Ministry

The Welcome Ministry is central in helping Christ the King Church stay a vibrant community. We are her face and heart; welcoming new members, visitors, and parishioners who want to feel more involved. Connecting them with ministries and services that meet their interests and spiritual needs helps to build Christ’s living body, the Church. We host Welcome Events, follow up with newly registered parishioners and answer any questions.

Hospitality Ministry

The Hospitality Committee promotes a welcoming, friendly atmosphere within our parish. We coordinate refreshments, helpers, and decorations for celebrations such as First Communion, Confirmation, Thanksgiving morning and other parish-wide events throughout the year. Please feel free to join us as your schedule allows--no specific time commitment or special skills are required! We look forward to meeting all who would like to join our very hospitable group!

Liturgical Ministries

Altar Servers

Children and teens 4th grade and older are invited to be Altar Servers. You’ll learn different parts of the Mass, why the celebrant does or says this or that, and be a part of the best parish celebrations. Training begins in October and as needed for special Masses. Adult volunteers must be good with kids, have knowledge of the Order of Mass and consent to a background check.

Altar Society

Have you ever wondered who cares for altar and sanctuary? The Altar Society cleans, dusts, and polishes the altar as well as maintains the altar linens, purificators, corporals, towels and albs used for Mass. Our work compliments that of the Liturgical Environment Ministry to create an atmosphere of reverence and beauty appropriate for spiritual celebration. Look out for Quilt Raffles that help support our ministry.

Funeral Ushers

Saying goodbye to a loved one is one of the most difficult events a family will endure.  Christ the King funeral ushers are there with compassionate hearts to assist during funerals with seating, distributing programs, and general set up.  Contact Sr. Dominic if you would like to be a funeral usher.

Lectors

Christ the King takes the Ministry of the Word very seriously. Lectors should have a passion for scripture and a strong desire to proclaim God’s word, making it come alive in the hearts of our parishioners. Adults and especially teens are encouraged to experience Christ though our ministry. We strive for well-trained lectors, so a Saturday practice at 8:30 a.m. the weekend of their assignment is required.

Liturgical Environment 

The Environment Ministry creates an atmosphere of reverence and beauty during the annual liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time (after the Epiphany), Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time (after Pentecost). The change of vestment colors and church decor enhance worship and bring to our five senses the majesty of heaven. Easter and Christmas are our most involved times and volunteers are in much need.

Ushers & Greeters

Ushers and greeters are the first line of welcome at Christ the King; offering hospitality and assistance to those arriving for worship. Before Mass they assist those with physical challenges, the elderly, and large families to available pews. During our celebration they gather parishioner offerings and provide guidance and direction during communion.
