Roster of altar ministers
password required

All the lay faithful participate in the liturgy to an equal degree. Some may choose to participate as altar ministers.

Acolytes. In other parishes, acolytes are sometimes known as "altar boys or girls." Because there are relatively few children at St. Victor's, the duties of acolytes are usually undertaken by adults. No special training is necessary; those who wish to serve as acolytes are welcome to learn by doing. Contact the master of ceremonies to learn more.

Lectors. Those who proclaim the Word must have a strong, clear speaking voice and be willing to thoughtfully and prayerfully prepare for the Mass readings. If you would like to serve as a lector, contact the master of ceremonies.

Eucharistic ministers. Members of the laity are welcome to bring the Body and Blood of Christ to the members of his Church. Most often this is done at Mass, but at times it is necessary to bring communion to those confined to their homes or hospitals. To volunteer for this ministry, contact the pastor.
