Lectors

From the very beginning, Christians have gathered together to hear the word of God, and, from the very beginning, there have been individuals entrusted with the task of reading the word in the liturgical assembly. Those chosen are carefully prepared so that the reading should develop in the faithful a profound appreciation of Scripture. For more information on becoming a lector, please contact the Parish Office.

Respect Life

All volunteers advocate life from womb to tomb through prayer, peaceful witness, education, and advocacy. One of the tenants of our Catholic faith is the protection of the defenseless and those without a voice and these ministries promote that protection. This ministry is part of a nationwide effort to protect, nurture, and sustain human life. For more information please contact: Deacon Richard Frohmiller at DcnRich@sanpedrocc.org

Sacristans

The Sacristy is the special room in the church where the sacred vessels, vestments, etc., are kept. The Mission of Sacristan is to set up the vessels before Mass. After Mass, the Sacristan takes the vessels to the sacristy and sets them on the counter. The Priest or Deacon purifies the sacred vessels (ciborium, chalice, cups, carafe and cruet), which contain the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Sacristans are dedicated volunteers who take care of these items. They serve on a rotation basis at the week-day and weekend Masses and are available for funerals, weddings, and baptisms.

St. Vincent de Paul

An international organization that helps the needy with food and financial assistance. It also provides aid during disasters, floods, hurricanes, etc. Help is made possible through the generosity of the parishioners via the poor boxes and donations of food. Meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m. in the Activity Center. For those seeking help, please contact 941-426-3894.

Ushers

Ushers help out before, during, and after each Mass. Duties include seating people, taking up collections at Mass, assisting Eucharistic Ministers, crowd control when required, and passing out the bulletins. For more information, please contact Ron Sadowski at 941-416-5559.
