MSP Kiosk Video Training
This video will show you how to check-in for the Mass you are assigned to when you arrive at St. Tim’s. All check-ins for Mass need to be done via the kiosk, no exceptions. This applies to all of our Liturgical Ministries; Altar Server, Reader, EMHC, Usher, Ambassador, Sacristan, Safety Team.
Altar Servers
Altar servers assist the presider and assembly during parish liturgical celebrations. This is an important ministry both of prayer and service. Servers are called to be special, visible models of a prayerful spirit at Mass. Young people who are beginning fourth grade may volunteer for this ministry. Training is provided.

Music
The Music Ministry endeavors to develop a prayerful singing assembly though celebration, preparation, evaluation, education and personal ministry. They support the Gospel message through song and challenge the assembly to experience that message more fully. They include the music directors, instrumentalists, cantors, parish choir, children’s choir and a teen band. Training is available. If you sing or play an instrument and would like to be part of this ministry, we would be happy to have you share your talent by becoming part of the music ministry. Adult choir practice is held on Wednesdays from 7-9PM – all are welcome and no audition is necessary.

Readers
The Readers have the awesome privilege of proclaiming the words of Sacred Scripture at the Celebration of the Eucharist. In this sacred ministry, the Readers have an opportunity to draw the assembly into the Scripture which they are proclaiming. Training is provided, and some expertise in public speaking is essential. Readers are challenged to deepen their love of the Word of the Lord as it is found in the Bible, to continue their study of the Bible and to make the Scriptures a part of their daily life and prayer.

If you are unable to fulfill your assigned date, please get a substitute. Thank you!
Liturgical Sacristans
These are people who serve our worship “behind the scenes”, whose ministry is to prepare the sacred vessels for Mass, cleanse and purify the sacred vessels after Mass, and act as the primary contact before Mass for the other ministers who will be serving at the Mass.
