Liturgical Minister Schedule

Altar Servers - Those 10-years old and older are invited to assist at Mass as servers on either weekday or weekend Masses. The only requirement is a devotion to the liturgy and a commitment to serve. Training will be provided. Contact Gerard D' Souza at 216-228-6715 or [email protected].

Lectors - Proclaim God's Word through the reading of Sacred Scripture at weekend and weekday liturgies. Training and initiation will be provided. Contact Mary Lou Ozimek at 216-696-6525 ext. 4070 or [email protected].

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion - After receiving training at a Diocesan Certification Session, these members of the community minister the Body and Blood of Christ to the assembly at Mass. They may also carry the Eucharist to the homebound and they serve as greeters at the Sunday Mass. Contact the Rectory Office at 216-771-6666 or [email protected].

Ushers - Ushers greet and facilitate the assembly with a welcoming attitude and assist in varied ways during the celebration of the Mass, usually for the same Mass each week. Contact the parish office at 216-771-6666 or [email protected].

Music Ministries - The members of the Cathedral music ministry (music director, cantors, organists and choir) encourage and enable the sung prayer of the assembly at liturgical and devotional celebrations throughout the church year.

• Cantor - The cantor is the leader of the sung prayer.
• Choir - The choir provides assistance to the assembly in their sung prayer and provides choral settings of the liturgical texts. More information about the Cathedral Choir can be found here.
• Instrumentalist - Many musical selections which you hear at Mass include instrumental parts. The only requirement is your ability to play. Rehearsal is one half hour before the liturgy. Music would be forwarded to you in enough time to practice the part.

An audition is required for all of the music ministries. Contact Gregory Heislman at 216-771-6666, ext. 5510 or [email protected].
