Liturgical Ministries  

Each time we hear God's word and celebrate the Eucharist, many people are involved besides the presiding priest.  Liturgical ministries are ones that assist the assembly in full and active participation in liturgy.   If you are interested in obtaining more information, becoming involved, or volunteering in one or more of these ministries, please click here to fill out an interactive form.  You may also click here (Adobe Reader required) to print and fill out a form.  If you have any questions, please contact the Parish Office at stsebastian@dioceseofgreensburg.org or 724.929.9300.
