Liturgical Ministries
Altar Servers assist the priest during Sunday Mass and other liturgies. Any child 4th grade and up may participate. This ministry is an ideal way for the children of the parish to serve the community as part of the Sacrifice of the Mass. Ideally, each child would serve one Mass per month. For more information, visit the HFK Altar Servers webpage, or contact Norm Bross, normb@hfkparish.org.

Church Cleaners are needed before major liturgical celebrations such as Christmas and Easter. Tasks include dusting, oiling pews, erasing pencil and crayon marks, shining brass appointments, etc. This ministry is great for families, parish organizations or anyone who wants to see the church sparkle. For more information, contact Andrea Liggett, andrea@hfkparish.org.
Church Flowers provides weekly and seasonal floral arrangements for our liturgies. Amateurs and professionals are involved. Pair up with one of them and help decorate our church on an occasional basis. Special help is needed at Christmas and Easter. There are jobs of all types for all skill levels. For more information, contact Andrea Liggett, andrea@hfkparish.org.
Church Linen Care provides pickup, laundering, ironing and return of linens used at Mass monthly. Time is critical to ensure that there is an adequate amount of linens for each weekend. For more information, contact Andrea Liggett, andrea@hfkparish.org.
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist assist with the preparation and distribution of the Eucharist at Mass. Being an active participant in the liturgical life of the parish is required. Ideally, each minister would serve one Mass at their preferred time each month. For more information, contact Norm Bross, normb@hfkparish.org.
Lectors boldly proclaim the Word of God at Sunday and Holy Day liturgies. A lector workbook is provided to prepare the upcoming Scripture readings. This ministry also tries to schedule lectors one time each month at their preferred Mass. For more information, contact Norm Bross, normb@hfkparish.org.
Mass Facilitators provide oversight of and assistance to all the other ministers at Mass, locate substitute ministers when those scheduled fail to appear, are the “go-to” person for all ministers and parishioners at Mass and fill in for absent ministers when unable to locate substitutes. The time commitment is arriving 30 minutes prior to Mass and 30 minutes after Mass for those weekends assigned. For more information, contact Norm Bross, normb@hfkparish.org.
Perpetual Adoration is offered at Holy Family every hour of the week (24x7). It takes community and commitment to make this happen. Please consider offering one hour each week of your time to the Lord in prayer. All are welcome to drop in anytime between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM, or sign up and make this a weekly commitment. For more information, contact Norm Bross, normb@hfkparish.org.
Quilters group makes linens and liturgical banners for the church. Quilters support the Grief Ministry program and fund-raisers for the Malawi Committee. The group donates quilts to children’s charities and other causes. This is a great way to meet new friends and use your sewing skills for good works. Quilting experience is not necessary. Quilters meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday from 1:00pm to 4:00pm in the Parish Center. For more information, Norm Bross, normb@hfkparish.org.
Ushers provide a welcoming environment at weekend liturgies, greet and seat parishioners and visitors, take up the collection, see that offertory gifts are brought to the altar, distribute weekly bulletins, tidy up the church after Mass, and assist with various situations that arise. Children, third grade and older, are welcome to participate with their parents. Ideally, each volunteer is scheduled once a month at their preferred Mass time.
