Liturgical functions, especially the Mass, are the heart and soul of a Parish. In order for these Liturgies to be conducted in the most dignified fashion, it is essential to have a core of dedicated servers willing to make a commitment to this important ministry. You must be in the 3rd grade, but can be a trainee in 1st & 2nd grade. Adults are welcome as well. Please contact the Parish Office for more information.

Music Program

Our ministry of music plays an important role in the masses at St. Frances Cabrini.  We are pleased to have a part-time staff of four professional musicians (conductor, organist, pianist, and cantor) who work with the singers in our choirs.  To accompany our singers, we are feature a 3-manual Allen organ and a new Yamaha digital piano.

The Traditional Choir sings at the11:00 Mass on Sundays and rehearses at 9:45 am each Sunday morning.  While this choir sings primarily traditional church music, their repertoire also includes a variety of musical styles.  There is also a small group of singers that leads the hymns at the 4:00 pm Saturday Mass.

No music training is necessary to join one of these organizations.  All are welcome to be a part of the music program.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and have received the three Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation).

The lectors’ ministry bears the responsibility of proclaiming God’s Word to the people in the service of the faith. The message of salvation is read to the congregation through both the Old Testament and the New Testament at each Mass. Thus, we acquire a deeper understanding and love of the Scripture and are privileged to share this knowledge with the faithful. Lectors serve at all Masses on the weekend as well as Masses on Holy Days of Obligation. For more information about participating in this ministry contact the Parish Office.

The Men’s Club aims to form and develop fellowship among the men through scheduled spiritual and social service activities. We will support parish religious and social activities as requested and provide a resource for the pastor as needed. Members must be 21 to join. We welcome all men within the parish to join us and share ideas. Our men are a special group dedicated to our parish, our faith, and the parishioners. We can accomplish those objectives through service to others.

The Parish Council is a representative body, which seeks to assess the spiritual and temporal needs of the parish and encourage participation of all members in the spiritual and apostolic life of the parish. We also exercise a vital role in the decision making process of the parish in open dialogue with the priests and representatives of the parish community to reach consensus. The Council membership consists of six (6) lay members elected by the parish at large to serve two-year terms, members from each of the Church ministries, and the Parish Priest. Contact the Parish Office for more information.

The Parish Life Committee plans and sets up celebratory receptions and other special events, like Breakfast With Santa, Angel Trees, & the Easter Egg Hunt to foster communication and fellowship among Parish members.
