Getting involved in parish ministry is one of the ways we grow in faith and become part of the life of the Church.
Each of us has been given gifts, and ministry is a chance to use those gifts in a simple, real way— whether that’s helping at Mass, serving others, or supporting the parish community. It’s not about having everything figured out, but about being willing to take a step and be part of something bigger.
Ministry is also where connections happen. It’s how a parish becomes more than just a place we attend—it becomes a community where we know one another, support one another, and grow together.
There’s a place for everyone, and we invite you to find where God might be calling you to serve. Below is a list of the leaders of the many ministries we offer here at Saint Mary Magdalene, please contact them for information on how to get involved.
