Liturgical Ministries
Liturgical Ministers are called by God to be instruments of Christ’s Real Presence.
There are different gifts but the same Spirit; there are different ministries but the same Lord; there are different works but the same God who accomplishes all of them in everyone. To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. (1 Corinthians 12:4-7)
If you are interested in volunteering to participate in one of our liturgical ministries at Sacred Heart Church, Holy Rosary Chapel in Cascade, or Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chapel in Manitou Springs, please contact our Liturgy Coordinator Sue Gerlach at 719-633-8711 x102 or email sgerlach@sacredheartcos.org.
