Serving at Mass is a wonderful privilege for our children and youth. It is a commitment to take the time to be trained, show up on time, or find a replacement. If you have made your first Communion and would like to serve God and our community, please contact Bevin Canale or Calvin Cedarleaf.

Sacristans serve during the weekend and daily Masses. Before Mass, the sacristan carefully arranges the items necessary for the celebration of Mass. He or she lays out anything needed, such as cruets, chalices, ciboria, hosts, wine, linens, oils, and candles. A Sacristan may volunteer to wash the altar linens according to the indications of the Church. For more information please contact Bevan or Ann.

Our parish needs approximately 18 ushers per weekend. Our ushers are truly faithful servants; welcoming, passing out books, ushering the faithful during Communion, finding space for all our visitors, and taking care of any and all emergencies. Contact Joe for more information or to volunteer. 

 Everyone with a voice (that’s everyone!) or who plays a musical instrument is welcome to come and make a joyful noise for the Lord! Contact the front office for more details.

Resurrection has won more than one award for our beautiful gardens. This ministry takes care of the gardens adding to the peace and serenity of everyone as they enter or leave the church or just visit the grounds. We strive to timely prune, fertilize, weed, irrigate, transplant, remove unwanted plants, and in general-garden. This is a ministry of love from great volunteers. More help is always needed. Contact Jean, our Master Gardener.

We need a leader for this ministry.

It serves on Sunday mornings in the Parish Hall following both Masses. Coffee, juice, pastries, and cookies are offered, along with a welcoming smile.

This ministry assists bereaved families with plans for the funeral service and hospitality. The Bereavement Minister coordinates with the Celebrant, committee members, liturgical ministers and staff as necessary. The committee members gently guide the family, welcome people at the door, mind the guest book and programs and encourage all to visit with the family. They always attend the service; prayer is an integral part of this ministry. Hospitality after the service is provided according to the family’s wishes. The committee members assist as needed. Our goal is to provide serenity, peace, and comfort. Please call the front office for more information.  

MORE was founded in 2006 to support the Church, help the men of the parish grow in their faith, raise money for selected charities and the Church, and offer social opportunities for the men of Resurrection. Major accomplishments are the Spring Fling and St. Patrick’s Parties in March and Festivals in October. These functions draw 400-500 people. MORE’s food drives have produced hundreds of bags of groceries, all delivered to Catholic Charities’ Food Pantry. 

This ministry was started in January 2009.  We have knitted and crocheted 100’s of shawls and/or lap robes. That have found homes in various places, mostly Grand Boulevard Health and Rehabilitation Center (formerly called Delta Healthcare). We have also made caps for newborn babies, given to Sacred Heart Hospital, as well as gift sets of baby blankets (knitted/crocheted) with matching hats and booties. These are given in answer to requests from parishioners and others. Some of our visitors continue to work for the ministry even after they have left and mail their work to us. A few members work for the ministry, but do not come to the gatherings. Prayer is stressed as an important part of the ministry, together and individually. We think of our gifts as artifacts of prayer, given with a warm written message of loving and caring. Please contact Eileen for more information.

Our team prays for our evangelization efforts daily and for all the inactive Catholics and unchurched people. We pray for their return to God through His Church. We are aware of the needs of inactive Catholics, and address those needs as they arise and are presented to us. Father Tom is so instrumental with his non-judgmental example to all of us. We do appreciate the prayers from our parish. Please contact Sukey for information on this ministry.
