Each week individuals and families greet parishioners as they enter the church. We rely on these friendly volunteers to distribute the bulletin and important parish information, collect the offertory and provide assistance as needed during the Mass. This ministry is open to all active members of Divine Redeemer, both youth and adults. Greeters arrive 20 minutes before the start of Mass and stay for about 15 minutes after Mass.

Liturgical Environment and Altar Ministry
Liturgical Environment and Altar Ministry
Each year as the Church prepares for the awareness of the liturgical seasons (Advent, Christmas, Lent, Ordinary Time and Feast Days) we are in need of individuals to help create an environment to enhance our worship space. The Altar Ministry maintains the dignity of the altar and sanctuary by
placing appropriate altar cloths according to liturgical colors, and obtaining and maintaining flower arrangements around the altar according to liturgical norms.
