Under the direction of our Sacristan with the support of our Usher Lead and the President of our Altar Guild, the Liturgical Environment teams play a crucial role in creating a welcoming and sacred atmosphere for worship. 

The Safety Team and Ushers are men of the parish who assist at the Sunday masses to create a safe and friendly atmosphere by greeting and assisting visors, directing parishioners, taking up the collection, and helping out with safety as needed. 

Our parish altar boys strive to give glory to God through service at His holy altar. They serve at High Mass and Low Mass, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, and other liturgical ceremonies as torchbearers, acolytes, thurifers, crucifers, and masters of ceremonies. This privilege is open to men and boys who have received their first Holy Communion. 

The Floral Volunteers enhance the beauty and spiritual atmosphere of the weekly Masses and Liturgical celebrations here at SFDS. Their responsibilities include the ordering, arranging, maintaining, and placement of flowers throughout the church. 

Our Church Decor Team is assembled throughout the year under the guidance of our sacristan and at the direction of Fr. Eichman to prepare for upcoming Liturgical feasts. Stay connected to News & Events.

Liturgical Linens Volunteers maintain all sacred vestments and cloths

Liturgical Cleaners are responsible for keeping the sacristy and sanctuary clean.

Under the direction of our Hospitality lead. Our hospitality team consists of our special event hosts, kitchen hosts and baristas who work together to provide an enjoyable experience for the parishioners attending Mass.  Together, they maintain a tidy and organized social hall so parishioners have a pleasant place to rest and socialize between services. They ensure that the kitchen is fully stocked with supplies needed for serving snacks and beverages following each service. They make sure high-traffic areas like tables, counters, and appliances are cleaned and disinfected regularly to maintain a hygienic environment for food preparation and serving. 

Many hands make light work! Joining together with other parishioners for these workdays not only helps improve our church home, but also strengthens our sense of community. Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks

Yard work like trimming bushes, weeding flower beds and raking leaves

• Planting seasonal flowers in pots and beds

• Painting walls, fences, and other exterior surfaces

• Cleaning windows, porches, and sidewalks

• Organizing and tidying storage areas

Even small tasks contribute to the overall improvement. Children can help pick up litter, water plants and help with simple jobs under adult supervision. Parishioners with trade skills can register with the church office to be contacted if larger projects arise between workdays that require electrical, plumbing, carpentry or other expertise. Lending a hand for a few hours shows your love and commitment to this spiritual home we share. Joining together to spruce things up brings us joy and reminds us that through community and service, God's light shines in our church.

Under the direction of our Office Manager, the following teams work to maintain Church Operations.

Bookstore assistants help keep the bookstore organized, greet customers, operate the cash register, and help with special projects or events. This is a flexible role with various time commitments available.

Money counters assist with counting the weekly collection according to Archdiocese guidelines. Teams of two or more money counters meet once a week at the church office.

The technolgy team is responsible for the information technology structure at SFDS. This includes network, voice, security, audio, video and photography
