A Liturgical Minister is simply being involved with or assisting with the Mass. While the priest is the presider of the liturgy, it is a community effort by the faithful to assist in facilitating the Mass. Proclaiming The Word, distribution of Holy Communion, setting the Altar, greeting and assisting parishioners find a seat, decorating the church and assisting the priest at the Altar are all ways that a “lay person” (non-ordained people in the parish) can participate in Liturgical Ministry.
