Liturgical Ministries
Saint Olaf is a community oriented parish which serves the Lord in many ways. One facet of the calling to serve includes the parish’s many volunteer programs.
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
Also referred to as “Lay Eucharistic Ministers,” ministers require a strong devotion to Jesus Christ in administering Holy Communion. Ministers distribute Communion at Masses and deliver Communion to the sick and home bound.
Commitment: one or two Masses per month or delivery to the sick and home bound at your own discretion.

Lectors
Lectors proclaim the word of the Lord during the Mass. Those who volunteer carry the word and share in the essence for which the Mass is offered. Christ’s mission on this earth to spread the word of the Father.
Commitment: one Mass per month.
Altar Servers
Altar servers provide a continual service to our entire community. All children enrolled in the Sunday School of Religion or in a Catholic School, in kindergarten or above, can become altar servers. Training is offered once every three months.
Commitment: two Masses per month.

Eucharistic Adoration
This is a ministry of devotion spent in solemn adoration of the Holy Eucharist. Like the links of a chain, the list of adorers must be continuous. The Blessed Sacrament cannot be on display to an empty chapel. Hours of adoration take place on the First Friday of each month from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Commitment: one hour per month
Coffee and Donuts Fellowship
This is a ministry of hospitality, fellowship, and community. After each Sunday Mass this ministry serves coffee, donuts, and is the catalyst that brings the parishioners together in an informal and hospitable place. Volunteers may set up tables and chairs or may provide the pastries and coffee.
Commitment: one hour per week.
