Members of the Altar Guild work mostly "behind the scenes". There are several teams included in this ministry that include:
1. Altar Linens - laundering of linens used for Mass
2. Art and Environment - watering and caring for the church plants and flowers
3. Candles - Replacing used votive candles with new candles
If you are interested in joining one of these teams, please call the parish office: 301-530-1550.
The Children’s Liturgy of the Word has resumed at the 5:00pm Saturday Mass. During Mass, children ages 5 through 10 are invited to process with their adult leader to the Scanlan Meeting Room, where they have their own celebration of the Liturgy of the Word with readings adapted to their age and ability from the approved children’s Lectionary. An adult leader leads the liturgy and then gives a reflection on the readings with the children participating. Additional volunteers are needed to ensure that this special ministry will be able to continue.
For more information, or to volunteer, call the parish office at 301-530-1550.
Volunteers will need to have a routine background check as well as attend an archdiocesan Protecting God’s Children seminar.
We are in need of volunteers to help as Lectors, Cantors, Ushers, Eucharistic Ministers, Choir Members, Sacristans and Altar Servers. If you are interested to serve in these roles or have already served in the past, please help by offering your ministry again. We will help with getting you ready for these important tasks in our worship of God. If you are interested to serve or return to serving in one of these ministries, please contact Dr. Giuliano Grisi via email at giuliano.grisi@stjanedechantal.org or by calling the Parish Office at 301-530-1550. For more information on each of these available roles, or to obtain a print-ready Liturgical Ministry Interest Form, please click HERE.
