Having an answering system will be helpful. If willing to volunteer, please contact Mary Leibl – or the parish office.
MASS RESPONSE MINISTRY
St. Matts needs volunteers at the Sat 4:15pm mass, to read the mass responses and prayers into a microphone for the pre-recorded masses. You would say the prayers and responses you always say with the congregation. Online mass participants only hear the responses if they are said int a microphone. You could do this ministry from your favorite chair in the congregation using a portable mic. This mic can be clipped to your collar or lapel and be very inconspicuous! Your assistance will help our online viewers to participate more completely in the masses. We only need 1 Mass Response Minister each week but would like enough volunteers to share the ministry. Please contact the parish office or .
