Ushers
Ushers help provide a friendly comfortable atmosphere for the church services. This includes assisting people to find seating, seeing that heating or air conditioning facilities are working properly, collecting the offering, and seeing that someone is assigned to take up the wine and hosts at the Offertory. The ushers aid the priest, count and record attendance, and distribute hand outs. In general, the ushers are there to help both the parishioners and clergy as needed. New ushers are paired with experienced ushers at first for training.
If you would like to usher please email our parish secretary, Mary Sutherland, or call the parish office, 509-332-5312, -
Greeters
Greeters are needed at the church entrances before Mass to provide a welcoming presence. An important part of the ministry is assisting people who use the accessible entrance in the alley. Greeters also answer questions from visitors. New greeters will be scheduled with experienced greeters for training.
If you would like to serve as a greeter, please email our parish secretary, Mary Sutherland, or call the parish office, 509-332-5312, -
Eucharistic Ministers
Eucharistic Ministers that we see at Mass are there because they wish to serve the Church and the parish. The time commitment for new people is generally one Mass every few weeks. Eucharistic Ministers need one training session, and help to clean up the Sacramental vessels for about 15 minutes after Mass. Parishioners of high school age or older are encouraged to serve in this ministry. Minister Guidelines
If you would like to serve as a Eucharistic Minister, please email Deacon Jim Evermann or call him at 509-339-3607 (day) or 509-334-3041 (eve), or email our parish secretary, Mary Sutherland. -
Eucharistic Outreach Ministers
In this very important service, our Eucharistic Outreach Ministers bring Communion to Catholics who are homebound, in assisted living, memory care, adult care homes, the nursing home, etc. They do this on Sunday mornings. Three ministers go to Bishop Place and preside at a 10 a.m. Communion Service in the Activity Room, then bring Communion to those who were unable to come to the service. Two ministers do the same at Regency Pullman, where there are fewer residents. Two ministers leave Sacred Heart after the 8:30 Mass to visit the homebound and any Catholics who are at the Avalon Care Center, and take Communion to them.
If you would like to serve as a Eucharistic Outreach Minister, please email Deacon Jim Evermann or call him at 509-339-3607 (day) or 509-334-3041 (eve), or email our parish secretary, Mary Sutherland or call the parish office, 509-332-5312,
If you or someone you know would like to receive communion at home, please contact Jim or Mary above. -
Lectors
Lectors who we see and hear at Mass are there because they wish to serve the Church and the parish. The time commitment for new people is generally one Mass every few weeks. For Lectors, one training session, and arrival at Mass 15 minutes earlier than usual is needed. Parishioners of high school age or older are encouraged to serve in this important ministry. Lector Guidelines
If you would like to serve as a Lector, please email Deacon Jim Evermann or call him at 509-339-3607 (day) or 509-334-3041 (eve), or email our parish secretary, Mary Sutherland. -
Altar Servers
Altar servers provide an important and valuable service to our parish. Through service as an altar server, one gains a greater appreciation and understanding of the Mass. We welcome all individuals who have received First Communion to serve in this important ministry. You will receive necessary training and then be paired with an experienced server. We ask that you make a commitment to serve Mass every few weeks or when there is a need.
If you (or your child) would like to be an altar server, please email our parish secretary, Mary Sutherland, or call the parish office, 509-332-5312, -
Nursery Workers
We offer 6th-12th grade parishioners an opportunity to help in our parish nursery during either of our two Sunday Masses, 8:30 am and 11:00 am.
We will provide training, allow you to pick when you would like to assist, and you will make a little money in the process. We will make sure your assigned times do not conflict with your schedule as an altar server or lector at Mass.
If you would like to assist, please print and fill out the nursery worker application, submit your name, grade, address and phone number, and which Mass time you prefer to: Theresa Paul or call 509-332-4402.
