Fellowship Ministry

The Sacred Grounds Coffee Bar is open after Sunday Masses to encourage parishioners and visitors to enjoy a time of fellowship along with doughnuts, coffee, tea, milk and juice.

The Fellowship Ministry is a service ministry in which the Fellowship Ministers are warm, friendly faces for the many parishioners and visitors who gather after Mass. By acting as host and hostesses of these gatherings, Fellowship Ministers provide an environment to build up our community of faith.

How to Get Involved

Fellowship Ministers are scheduled within the Liturgical Ministy Schedule along with other service and liturgical ministers and thus take turns serving at Sacred Grounds. Ministers choose how many Sundays per month they wish to serve and after which Mass they prefer to serve. This is a wonderful ministry, not only for individuals, but for whole families!

• Training for new Fellowship Ministers is held several times throughout the year after which the new ministers are placed on the ministry schedule.
• We are also looking for teams of people who are willing to be trained as Fellowship Ministers who would make up a team of people to take one week per month to oversee the operation of Sacred Grounds.
• We are also looking for individuals or families who would be interested in overseeing any Special Events that are held at Sacred Grounds.

If you are interested in being trained as a Fellowship Minister, Sacred Grounds weekend team coordinator, or Sacred Grounds Special Event coordinator, please contact the Ministry Liaison.
