Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist

Parishioners who help in distributing the Eucharist during our Liturgies.  Volunteers receive instruction on our Parish guidelines. Part time residents are welcome as volunteers. Each minister is scheduled approximately once per month and may be asked to occasionally fill in as needed.  Contact:  Greg Weigle at 843-670-8012.

Lectors

Lectors are volunteers who value their commitment to our Parish by presenting the reading of God’s word during liturgies.   Part time residents are welcome to volunteer and are asked to submit their availability to the coordinator so that the schedule may be configured to accommodate them.  The schedule is published in three month increments, giving Lectors time to plan accordingly for their service or to secure a substitute if they are unable to fulfill the assignment given.  Lector Handbooks are available to guide our Lectors as they prepare and plan for the proclamation of The Word of The Lord.  Contact:  Addie Gill by email.

Ushers

Ushers greet people as the arrive for the Liturgy and hand out the Order of Worship.  They also take up the collection, assist in directing the communion procession and hand out bulletins at the end of Mass.  They also straight up the church after the Masses.  Volunteers are scheduled at the Mass of their preference.  Part-time residents are welcome to volunteer.  Contact:  Tom Roberts by email.

Liturgy Assistants

Liturgy assistants assure that all areas related to the function of the weekend liturgies are in place. This is a behind the scenes support to the flow of the Liturgy (ie. replacing the Orders of Worship, checking restrooms, retrieving lost items, answering visitors questions). Training is required and provided by the Parish.  Contact:  Joe Stocker at 843-768-0357.

Offertory Procession

Participants are selected from the congregation prior to the beginning of Mass to carry up the offering. If interested in taking up the gifts, please introduce yourself to an usher on duty.

Church Environment and Decor

As the liturgical seasons change, this Committee enhances the environment of God’s house with flowers, greenery, colored tapestries, the Advent Wreath, the Christmas Crèche, and so on. Many hands are needed to transform the church for major feasts such as Christmas and Easter. Other duties include the weekly maintenance and rearrangement of flowers in the church and chapel.  Contact:  The office at 843-768-0357.
