Lectors

What a blessing to be able to share the word of God during the Mass. Each lector

receives a guidebook with the Sunday readings, tips on how to present the readings, and thoughts on the meaning of the readings. Sharing in this ministry can enrich your Mass experience as you help to enrich the experience for others.

Lectors proclaim the Word of God during The Celebration of the Eucharist on Sunday and Holy Days on a regularly scheduled basis.  Lectors need to be able to proclaim the Word of God well in public.    Contact the parish office at 518 346 4926.   Training is provided.

Ushers/Greeter Ministry

Ushers/Greeters welcome parishioners and visitors to the church as they enter on Sundays and major Holy Days on a regularly scheduled basis. Often this is the first face people see when entering a church. If you are someone who likes to meet people, appreciates the value of a warm smile and a friendly hello, this may be the perfect role for you. Ushers also pass the basket during the Offertory, designate people to carry the gifts up to the altar and guide people during and after Communion. The ministry is open to all who attend The Celebration of the Eucharist each week. The qualifications are simple: Be friendly, warm and helpful while SMILING all the time.  Training is provided.  If you are interested, contact Donna Denny, parish secretary at 518 346-4926 x 122.

Hospitality [St Margaret’s]:   Help to set up the weekly coffee hour, which has become quite the event. If you help with set-up, you arrive at church at 9am. Mass begins at 10am. Coffee hour (which has really become more of a weekly brunch) follows. Join the fun and fellowship as you help to make it all possible. Clean up crews are also appreciated. It is a great community and great fun. Contact: Pam Urbanski, 518 902-8219 pamurbanski1@msn.com
