Lectors
Lectors proclaim the Word of God, share parish announcements, and lead the prayers of the faithful. A lector should have a deep respect for Sacred Scripture, be serious about the practice of their faith, and be at ease speaking before a large group of people. If you choose to be a lector at St. Joseph you will be assigned to a Mass based on your preferred Mass time and weekend availability.

Ushers
Ushers greet those attending weekend Masses, help them get seated, collect the offering, pass out bulletins, and deal with special situations which might occur during Mass. Ushers are often the first point of contact for visitors, so personal warmth and a hospitable spirit are important. Ushers at St. Joseph typically work in pairs that are scheduled together.
