Very much like our Funeral Ministry, this yet to be established ministry will mostly involve the preparation, assistance during and "clean up" after Weddings here at Saint Joseph Church. You would assist the priest and/or deacon that is witnessing the vows of a soon to be married couple. It would entail preparation for the Nuptial Mass (if Mass is to be celebrated), assisting the priest during the Mass as an acolyte (altar server) and putting things away after the ceremony.
Unfortunately, after weddings the church is almost always left in disarray; the pews are filled with everything from tissues, cereal, old mail, used and non-winning lottery tickets, candy wrappers to empty bottles of water and coffee cups. Part of this ministry is to return the church to the proper, clean and organized manner in which it was left for the couple and their families. Very much like our "Saturday Cleaners" Ministry, you cannot be afraid to roll up your sleeves and keep the Lord's House as clean as He deserves!
If you might be interested in this particular ministry (which will be formed in the very near future), please contact Father ST at: 973.383.1985 or [email protected].
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
