Liturgical Ministry

Liturgical ministers are scheduled for their preferred Mass time and are on the schedule until they request to be taken off. Family members will be scheduled for the same Mass when possible, unless requested otherwise.

Please see the submenu on this page for monthly liturgical ministry schedules.

If you wish to consider any of the ministries below, please contact  Deacon Tony Ternes, 701-223-1033.

Commentators check in all liturgical ministers prior to Mass, fill empty liturgical ministry positions (if needed), and make opening or closing announcements (if any).
