Alpha

This fall, we need many, many hands to help our parish launch our biggest Alpha ever! We need volunteers for grocery shopping, delivery groceries, cooking, working in the kitchen, setting-up, tearing-down, and livestreaming. Many hands make light work – join us!

Join the Alpha team

Livestream

A lot goes on behind the scenes (and screens!) to make sure that those living outside of Montreal or who are homebound or perhaps just curious about church can experience the awesomeness of Mass together with the community present in the building. Training provided!

Slide Operator

On of our goals as a parish is to be as welcoming as possible, and allowing newcomers and parishioners alike with the opportunity to follow Mass and sing along by referring to our screens is a big part of this! Join this ministry operate the slides and/or prepare them in advance.

Music Ministry

Music has the potential to uplift any prayer – or to derail it entirely! We dream of a music ministry that transports everyone’s prayerful moments to heights of Heaven itself with great skill, prayerfulness, and beauty. Don’t worry, start where you are, and be trained to become excellent. 

Greeters and ushers

Visitors make their mind up about church within the first 7 minutes of their visit. Our genuine smile, preparedness, and warmth makes all the difference in whether someone chooses to ever come back or not. Make an impression that lasts. 

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Ordinarily, the Clergy alone distribute Communion at Mass. Extraordinarily, it could be you!

Lectors

The Word of God became flesh. That means what we read at Mass is Jesus! How we read sets the tone to prepare people to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. This is an important role! God equips the called, He doesn’t call the equipped. Do you feel called?

Mass Emcee

Be the first person to welcome people ‘from the front’. Set the tone of warmth, familiarity, and also reverence. Learn speaking skills, lead by example, and become friends with a ton of people all at once!

Operations

Sounds official, but it just means being committed to making our church home welcoming, beautiful, and irresistible to newcomers and regulars alike. Sign up for Sundays, Funeral and Weddings prep, or Special Events. People notice when our church spaces look as beautiful as your living room!

Kids Ministry

If you have the gift of working with children, then we want to meet you! There are many areas to get involved…from Catch the Wave, our Sunday children’s program, to the Good Shepherd Atrium, to sacramental prep, we’re always looking for talented members to join our ministry.

Youth Ministry

If you have the gift of working teens, then we want to meet you! There are many areas to get involved…from our Ignation youth program to helping teens prepare for confirmation, we’re always looking for fun members to join our ministry.
