Acolytes

Eucharistic Ministers

Eucharistic Ministers

Acolytes, who include crucifers and torch bearers, serve on the altar during services.  The crucifer carries the cross during processions, hands the offering plates to the ushers, receives them back, hands them to the deacon, and assists the deacon and priest during the Eucharist. The torch bearers accompany the crucifer during the processions. We encourage children to become acolytes beginning in the second grade. Adults are welcome to join us in this ministry of service at the altar.

Eucharistic Ministers  are an integral part of the service assisting the priest at the altar. Duties may include reading the New Testament selection, holding the Gospel for the deacon or priest, leading the prayers,  and offering the chalice. This ministry is open to anyone 16 years of age or older. Training  is given and a license issued.

Lectors

Eucharistic Ministers

Lectors

Lectors  serve our community by reading the first reading and leading the Psalm.  This ministry is open to anyone from second grade or older.  Children are encouraged to be lectors and are usually scheduled the first Sunday of the month at the 10 am service. 

Coordinator - Fr. Ed rector@stlukesmetuchen.org

Ushers

Coffee Hour

Lectors

Ushers  greet parishioners and visitors when they arrive at the service and hand out bulletins. Additionally, ushers assist in the offertory collection, ring our church bell at the end of the service, and help tidy up the church when the service is over. This ministry is also open to anyone second grade or older. It’s a great way to be a part of the ministry that doesn’t involve public speaking. Ushers are needed at all services.

Coffee Hour

Coffee Hour provides a wonderful opportunity for parishioners to enjoy a time of fellowship following the 10:00 am Sunday Service.  Coffee Hour Hosts are needed every week.  Hosts arrive by 9:00 am Sunday morning to set up for the coffee hour – prepare the coffee, tea, bagels, donuts, coffee, cake, or whatever additional goodies are there for coffee hour - and at the end of coffee hour, they clean up. To volunteer to help or host, please see the signup  sheet at coffee hour or email the Coordinator, Linda Palmieri.
