Liturgy & Music

Liturgical Ministries

We are each given many gifts to share to benefit the community. Our liturgy is richer when each person contributes! We welcome you to any of our Liturgical Ministries for any of our Masses. Unless noted otherwise, please contact Karen Broering at kbroering@buckeyecatholic.com or (614) 291-4674 x112 for more information.

Lectors proclaim the Word of God. Two lectors are used at each weekend Mass and one for daily Mass.

Eucharistic Ministers offer the Body and Blood during Communion. Many are used for each weekend Mass and two are used at daily Mass.

Altar Servers assist the priest by holding the Roman Missal, carrying the cross and other duties. One or two servers are used for each Mass. This ministry is open to those in 6th grade through adulthood.

Mass Coordinators (Sacristans) prepare the bread and wine and altar area before Mass. Two or three are used at each Mass.

Hospitality Ministers (Greeters or Ushers) welcome all those who join us for Mass. Four are used for each Mass. We are especially looking for more smiling faces for this ministry!

Art and Environment Ministers prepare the sanctuary by arranging flowers each week and changing the altar hangings each season. We have wonderful opportunities for those with creative and organizational talents! Contact Fr. Ed Nowak at enowak@buckeyecathoilc.com or (614) 291-4674 x102 to get involved.

Music Ministry

Our Music Ministry consists of over 100 musicians from all parts of our faith community singing and playing at every Mass and liturgical service. We are always looking to add new vocalists, pianists, guitarists, percussionists and orchestral musicians to our ministry as we assist in the musical prayer of the Church. Musicians for the morning Masses rehearse on Thursdays at 7 p.m., and musicians for the Saturday and Sunday evening Masses rehearse one hour prior to Mass time. For vocalists getting involved is as easy as attending a rehearsal. Instrumentalists are asked to contact a music coordinator for a brief face-to-face meeting prior to joining.
