SACRISTANS
Prepare linens and vessels for weekend, weekday and special occasion liturgical celebration at Holy Trinity. Sacristans must first be trained as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (though they don’t have to serve as one) which means they must be a Holy Trinity registered parishioner, be 16 years of age, be Confirmed and be in good standing with the Catholic Church. Funeral sacristans, a special division of this group, assist with preparing the church for funerals. Those interested attend an additional 1 hour training class. Funeral sacristans occasionally are also asked to serve during a funeral Mass as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, lector or in another capacity.

USHERS
Ushers serve as the welcoming face of Holy Trinity, greeting parishioners and visitors at the door of the Sanctuary and creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. Ushers assist with seating, support those with mobility needs, facilitate the Offertory collection, and help maintain the reverence and order which allow all present to worship with peace and focus. This is a visible and meaningful ministry - often the first and last impression a parishioner or visitor carries from their time with us. Participants must be 18 years of age or older at time of training (except for LifeTeen Mass) and must be registered members of Holy Trinity.
