Mass Coordinators
These volunteers fill the same role that sacristans fill in a parish, and are expected to arrive about 45 minutes early to Mass to set up for the upcoming liturgy. Specifically, coordinators are responsible for the following:
- Set-up for each mass (placement of vessels, altar cloth, books, crucifix, tables for worship aids, Holy Water font, collection baskets, etc.)
- Identify scheduled Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, and Hospitality Ministers
- Request additional ministers from those present in the congregation at that particular mass, if needed
- Assist with seating in Worship Hall
- Ask for volunteers to carry the gifts to the altar
- Oversee the duties of the Hospitality Ministers and assist with the collection
- Handle any emergencies that may occur during the mass so that the liturgy is uninterrupted
- Oversee the purification of vessels after mass
- Tidy up the worship space after mass
