Liturgy at Wheeling Jesuit is the center of our community of faith, the moment when we, the diverse parts of Christ’s Body, gather as one to celebrate the good news of God’s salvation through Jesus Christ. The liturgy gives us life and challenges us to live our faith more deeply.
In addition to active participation as a member of the worshipping Body, there are several opportunities to serve the faith community through its liturgies:

Altar Server
The Altar Server helps with set-up and clean-up in the Chapel and assists the Presider throughout the Liturgy.

Sacristan
The Sacristan ensures all is ready for liturgy, oversees the other Liturgical Ministers, monitors the soundboard during liturgy, and ensures all is cleared afterward.

Lector
The Lector proclaims the Word of God and the Prayers of the Faithful.

Eucharistic Minister
The Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist administers the sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood to the assembly.

Choir Member & Musician

Please note: All Liturgical Ministers must attend a Training session and Commissioning in the Fall, an Evening of Reflection in the Spring, and other formation events. Anyone interested in one or several of these roles should contact Margaret Erickson, Liturgical Coordinator, in the Campus Ministry office (304-243-2439; merickson@wju.edu).
