Don't miss out on the blessings of service! At St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church, we encourage everyone to be active in parish life. Our ministries offer many opportunities to get involved, enjoy fellowship, and deepen your relationship with God.

Please note that anyone who wishes to volunteer for the church in any capacity must be a Registered Parishioner, and complete the Diocesan Safe and Sacred program. Please contact Alexis Campbell for more information.

Adult Faith Formation
Volunteers are needed to help facilitate Bible Studies and Faith Sharing groups. Must be a practicing Catholic at least 18 years of age and have received Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.

Altar Servers
All boys and girls who have received First Communion and are in 4th grade or higher are invited to serve at the altar.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
All ministers of Holy Communion should show the greatest reverence for the Most Holy Eucharist by their demeanor, their attire, and the manner in which they handle the consecrated bread or wine. You must be at least 18 years of age, in good standing with the church, and have received the sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation.

Homebound Ministry (facilities and home visits)
We make an effort to stay connected with those parishioners who are not able to join us as mass due to illness or other incapacities so they know they are not forgotten. This ministry is split into two groups - those who wish to visit facilities on Thursday mornings at 9:30 AM, and Sundays at 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM, and those who visit parishioners in their homes.  

Hospitality
Once a month, they welcome parishioners and serve donuts and coffee after masses.

Ladies of St. Zita
Parish Hall housekeeping. We welcome ladies with a devoted desire to maintain the cleanliness of our place of worship. This includes but is not limited to: vacuuming the chapel, “Swiffer” mopping the sacristy floor, dusting pews and kneelers in the chapel, light dusting of window ledges and wall ledges in entries, chapel and parish hall, tidying restrooms, etc.

Lectors
A rewarding way to participate in our mass is to proclaim God's Word as a lector.

New Member Welcoming
These happy people greet and welcome new parishioners, and help them get involved in parish life.

Music
Our music ministry enhances our liturgies in the service of the Lord. Music ministers include choir members, cantors, and instrumentalists.

Office Help
We have many volunteer opportunities in our parish office! Please call the parish office to inquire.

RCIA
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process for individuals who wish to become Catholic. Volunteers are needed in many capacities such as hospitality, group facilitators and sponsors. You must be a practicing Catholic of at least 18 years of age and have received the sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation to volunteer in RCIA.

Sacristans
Sacristans arrive at least 45 minutes prior to mass prepare liturgical vessels, books, bread and wine, and all other materials necessary for the liturgy. They also ensure all scheduled volunteers are present, and find additional volunteers if needed.

Safe Environment Volunteer

Ushers
These friendly folks welcome those joining in celebration at each mass, help those arriving to find seats, and take up the collection during mass. They also help dismiss rows for Holy Communion and hand out bulletins as parishioners leave.
