Lay Ministry

If opportunities to do God’s work were confined only to those ordained or vowed to a religious community, the laity would quickly become an uninvolved class of spectators. According to the documents of the second Vatican Council, all the baptized are called to do God’s work in service to each other. Opportunities for professional and volunteer lay ministry abound in today’s church.

Inquire at your parish for information about how you can contribute to your Christian community.

The Office of Christian Formation can also give you information about opportunities for service and training available through the diocese.
