Responsibilities

Currently, Elizabeth’s primary ministries are liturgical. She coordinates the liturgical ministries (clergy, lectors, eucharistic ministers, servers, greeters, sacristans) for all Masses and services, and supervises the recruitment, training and scheduling of all lay liturgical ministers. You will see her at almost every Mass and service here at St. Charles, as well as every baptism, wedding, and funeral. If there is anything liturgical going on, Elizabeth is involved in some way. In addition, she is the Parish Facilitator and Coordinator for the Archdiocesan “Safeguarding All of God’s Family” abuse prevention program, plus has her fingers in lots of other little projects as Father Omernick deems necessary.
