Throughout the liturgical year, our decorations change according to season. The Liturgical Seasons Team is responsible for this task. They create a welcoming, sacred space that evokes a prayerful atmosphere to anybody who visits our Church. For more information, please contact Kathleen Robinson at 206-683-3954 or [email protected].

The ministry of Lector is a ministry of proclamation. Through this proclamation, lectors exercise their responsibility in the liturgy. God speaks to the faithful through them. They provide a prayerful and well-prepared proclamation of the Word. For more information, please contact Joe Bringman at [email protected].

Eucharistic Ministers assist in the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass and bring Holy Communion to the sick and homebound of the parish. Men and women 18 years or older and having received the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) are eligible for this ministry. For more information, please contact Shannon Wilson at [email protected].

The ministry of Usher/Greeter is to assist those who are in need, give direction, and lend a hand as needed. The ministry also includes inviting a family to be gift-bearers, taking up the collection, overseeing the Communion procession, and helping to tidy up the pews before the next Mass. For more information, please contact Kristin Holland.

The ministry of Sacristan is one of the most ancient responsibilities in the Church. It involves preparing the vessels with Bread and Wine and cleaning the vessels after Mass. The Sacristan arranges the Presider Book, Roman Missal, Book of Gospels, and Lectionary. Communicating with other ministers is important to ensure that all are aware of any special procedures during a service. Please contact Kristin Holland.
