Greeters
The ministry of greeting involves not only welcoming our parishioners and guests to the celebration of Eucharist on Saturday, Sunday and Holidays but also reaching out to new residents of Lincoln Park and inviting them to come and join. Men and women who volunteer for this ministry participate in a number of ways - by calling new residents and inviting them to come with them to church or by mailing a welcoming packet to new residents.
Lectors
Lectors are those church members who proclaim the Word of God at liturgical celebrations. Preliminary training, ongoing reflection, and enhancement of skills are provided to all lectors. Lectors follow a rotating schedule for weekend masses, holy days and liturgical celebrations.

This ministry also includes bringing the Eucharist to homebound members of the congregation and residents of the local nursing facility each Sunday as well as bringing communion to Chilton Hospital on Thursdays. Preparatory training is required prior to commissioning. Reflection and enrichment opportunities are ongoing.
Ushers
The men and women of our parish who act as ministers of hospitality are responsible for seating members of the congregation at Mass and facilitating the collection of gifts offered by the community.
