| Eucharistic Adoration Ministry: This ministry is designed to perpetuate the adoration of Jesus, present in the Holy Eucharist, which is held in reserve in our chapel. The goal is to have at least one person in adoration every hour of every day. Volunteers reserve one hour per week, which will be their special time to spend in prayer with Jesus. This practice of perpetual adoration is capable of producing tremendous benefits for us, for our parish and for the whole world. To participate in adoration, please email worship@esacredheart.org (Top of Page) |
| Altar Servers: The Altar Server ministry offers children and adults an opportunity to be directly involved with the celebration of the liturgy. Altar servers assist the presider during mass, serve the parish family by assisting in the celebration of the liturgy and serve God through worship and prayer. We encourage parents and children to serve together. This is a wonderful way to honor God as a family. Any man, woman or child 9 or older may be an altar server. Required training is provided. Anyone interested in becoming an Altar Server may email worship@esacredheart.org |
| Eucharistic Ministers: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." (John 6:15) To administer the Eucharist to the people of God is one of the greatest capacities in which we can serve. Faithful members of our parish are always needed for this very important ministry. Volunteers are also needed to administer the Eucharist in nursing homes and to our homebound parishioners. For more information email worship@esacredheart.org |
| Lectors: An integral part of the sacrifice of the Mass is the Liturgy of the Word. As authorized since Vatican II, we have had an active group of parishioners participating in this ministry. They proclaim the Word of God, and lead the congregation in prayer. Members of the parish are encouraged to serves as lectors. After receiving proper instruction, they are scheduled at regular intervals to carry out this ministry.

| Greeters: The objective of this ministry is to greet everyone as they enter and leave the church, just as we would greet our friends and family as they enter our homes. This is our parish family and we want to welcome one and all. If you would like to become a part of this ministry, no special training or talent is necessary. You only need to be able to smile and say "Good morning or afternoon", or "Welcome to Sacred Heart." Children or grandchildren are welcome to greet with you.

| Audio/Visual Ministry: Sacred Heart of the Hills has an audio-visual studio in the balcony. Combining sound, video, and lighting with a three camera still shot system, this great technology can really enhance our worship. This ministry team needs operators, and creative team members to help shape the worship experience of our parish community. Qualifications? A desire to learn, pray and explore how sight and sound can bring new life to our worship services and programs. For more information, or to volunteer, please send an email to worship@esacredheart.org. |

| Ushers: The ushers' responsibilities include seating the congregation, offertory collection, selecting a family for the offertory of the gifts, making sure that the movement of the people during communion is organized and orderly, and to provide for the comfort and convenience of the worshipers.
