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 are used for each Mass.

Ministers of Holy Communion offer the Body of Christ* during Communion and assist in washing the paten bowl after Mass. *Please note that we are not able to offer the Blood of Christ at this time.

Hospitality Ministers (Greeters) welcome all those who join us for Mass. Two are used for each Mass to welcome people at the north doors by the parking lot. We are especially looking for more smiling faces for this ministry! *The Parking lot greeter is not used at this time

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 5th grade through adulthood.

Mass Coordinators (Sacristans) prepare the bread and wine and altar area before Mass and assist in clean up after Mass.

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! To get involved, please contact Fr. Ed Nowak at enowak@buckeyecathoilc.com or (614) 291-4674 x102.

Music Ministry

Our Music Ministry consists of over 100 musicians from all parts of our faith community singing and playing for Masses and liturgical services. 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.

Currently, we are scheduling vocalists, pianists, guitarists and string instrumentalists for the following Masses: Saturday at 5:30pm; Sunday at 10a.m., Noon, 6p.m. and 9p.m.

For members of the music ministry that are not able to share their gifts at a public Mass, we have been recording a prelude song each week. Please contact Karen Broering at kbroering@buckeyecatholic.com for more information.
