Sacristan - Sacristans oversee all the preparations and people involved in the Mass.  This is a crucial role as  Sacristans work "behind the scenes" to ensure everything needed for Mass is prepared and runs smoothly. 

Ushers & Hospitality -  Ushers are men and women who embody our friendly atmosphere, attend to the needs and comfort of those here to worship or visit. Our ushers host the thousands of Aggies each weekend making sure they have a welcoming, safe and comfortable environment while expressing our hospitality as Aggie Catholics.  Ushers help the sacristan ensure that Mass runs as smooth as possible and to give each person a suitable atmosphere for prayer.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMs) – EMs aid in the distribution of the Eucharist at Mass.  Extra-ordinary Ministers are commissioned  by the bishop out of a need of the Church to assist the ordinary ministers (bishops, priests, deacons) in the distribution of the Eucharist.

Altar Server - Altar Servers directly aid the priest and deacons at Mass.
     - Thurifers - provide the incense at special celebrations and occasions.

Lectors - Proclaim the word of God at Mass leading others deeper into prayer with Sacred Scripture.

Music - Liturgical Music helps to elevate the heart and soul to God at MAss.  St. Mary's music ministry has places for people of just about all ability & experience levels,  different styles of music, and for instruments from A to Z (band, orchestra, choir, guitars, piano, organ, percussion, et al).

Trainings are usually held the 1st or 2nd week of each semester--Fall, Spring and Summer. Look for announcements at Mass, in the bulletin, and here on the website when a training is coming up.
