Liturgical Ministries

Altar Servers

An altar server is a minister who helps the priest at the presider’s chair and at the altar.  This is a special way to have a closer and more integral part of the Mass. 


Youth (fourth grade and older) and adults are eligible to serve at Mass. It is also a wonderful ministry for parents/guardians and children to do together.


Please contact Lyn Spellman at 330-206-1661 or lynspell@aol.com for more information. 


Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Ministers of the Eucharist are men and women who help distribute the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ at Holy Communion during scheduled weekday and weekend Masses. They may also distribute Communion to the sick and homebound of the Parish.

 If you are interested in becoming a Eucharistic Minister please contact Jennifer Berczik 330-626-3424 or stjoanpm1@gmail.com

Liturgical Lectors

Lectors participate in daily and weekend Masses by proclaiming the Word of God and the Universal Prayer, helping the faithful to encounter and understand Scripture. Some lectors also assist with readings at funerals. If you are interested in becoming a lector, please contact Lyn Spellman 330-206-1661 or lynspell@aol.com

Ushers

As one of the first people that visitors interact with, the role of the Usher is an important one!  They assist in welcoming the congregation, directing and seating them, helping those with disabilities, and arranging for the procession of the presentation of gifts. They are also responsible for keeping order and direction in the Church.

If you are interested in being an Usher at any of the Masses, please contact the office at 330-626-3424 or stjoansecretary@sbcglobal.net.

Adult Choir

Our Adult Choir plays an integral part of our Mass.  Singing in a church choir can help you deepen your faith and connect with others, while growing in your spirituality and fulfillment. The choir helps improve worship by leading congregational singing, which teaches hearts to praise God together, creating a powerful sense of community.  You are invited to join us for a rehearsal.  We are beginning to rehearse Christmas songs for the upcoming Advent Season!  Our rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm.
