Hospitality Ministry
Each of us is called to the Hospitality Ministry. You may not realize it, but every time you smile and make another parishioner feel welcome, you are already doing it! Incarnate Word has a reputation for being a very friendly parish where visitors feel welcome and members have a sense of belonging.
We’d love for you to join us! Supporting this ministry includes: arriving 20 minutes before Mass begins to greet parishioners and visitors as they arrive, distribute song sheets, MagnifiKids, and help address any needs of the congregation. Following Mass we assist in tidying up the sanctuary. All ages are welcome!

Altar Servers
One very important way that young people can serve God and assist the parish is through the Altar Server Ministry. Any parishioner 6th grade and up is welcome to join this ministry and be trained to assist the priests and deacon during Mass. Adults are also able to train and asist the Priest and Deacon at Mass. After training is complete servers can request their preferred Mass time and frequency through our online scheduler. Altar servers who are interested can receive additional training for special occasions (i.e. weddings, funerals, and Christmas and Easter Masses).
