At Loyola, students are encouraged to participate actively in the preparation and celebration of Sunday Eucharist. There is always a great need in the following areas:
Workshops are provided to train new minsters, update those who might have previous experience in their home parish, and to provide spiritual reflection. If you would like to participate in any of these areas, e-mail George Miller or call him at x.2449.
Your is the first of Christ's faces to greet God's people as they assemble for prayer. Your greeting of welcome is the first wish that "the Lord be with you!" Yours is the word that welcomes the stranger be at home in the Lord's house.

We are in need of those whose ministry is a helping hand and a smile of welcome to those who gather for the Sunday celebration. Greeters (ushers) assist in the seating of the Assembly, distribution of the Orders of Worship, presentation of the Gifts, the Communion procession, and distribution of the Campus Ministry bulletin as the Assmebly departs. Please consider volunteering your time for this most special ministry. Training and reflection are scheduled at the beginning of each semester. For more information, contact the Student Coordinator at x.2447.
Yours is a share in the work of the Lord's Spirit who is ever moving in our hearts and among God's people. You gesture with your whole selves the prayer we know in our hearts: with us and for us you bring that prayer to living sign; yours is a ministry of Word become flesh. You move among us like God's own spirit, to life our hands and hearts in praise of the living God..

The Loyola Liturgical Dance Ensemble is an opportunity for gesture, movement and dance to become a form of ministry and prayer. Previous dance experience is not required. For more information, e-mail George Miller or call him at x.2449.
Yours is a share in the work of the Lord's Spirit who makes us one bread, one body, the cup of blessing which we bless. Yours is the work of ministering Christ's body and blood to the body of Christ -- the Church. Yours is the service at the Lord's reconciling table. Yours is the ministry of the One who was broken and poured out for our sakes: the ministry of Christ who is our Passover and our lasting peace.

Special Ministers of the Bread and Cup are needed for all Eucharistic celebrations. This is a minstry of sharing the love of Christ through the signs of bread and wine. Training and reflection sessions are scheduled at the beginning of each semester. For more information, contact the Student Coordinator at x.2447.
Yours is a share in the work of the Lord's Spirit who opens our hearts to God's holy word. Yours is the task of telling our family story, the story of salvation. Yours is to proclaim the true and saving word of God. Yours is the ministry of the table of God's Word, which feeds the hungers and longings of our hearts for truth. Yours is to offer the story of the "great things the Lord has done for us," that we might turn to the table of the Eucharist with good cause to give thanks and praise.

We are in need of those whose ministry is bringing God's word to life. We encourage those who read and speak well to minister through the proclamation of God's word. Training and reflection sessions are scheduled each semester. For more information, contact the Student Coordinator at x.2447.
