Liturgical Ministries

The Sunday liturgy is the “source and summit” of the life of a Catholic; therefore, we strive always to put forth our best efforts in carrying out the Church’s liturgy. There are a variety of ways individuals can put their talents at the service of the community to better enhance our Masses:

  • Lectors and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are trained and mandated by the Archdiocese to proclaim the word of God and to distribute Holy Communion.
  • Greeters and Gift Gatherers welcome the faithful as they arrive to church and help take up the collection during the Offertory.
  • Altar Servers assist the priest at the celebration of Mass and other liturgical events. Boys and girls are trained as altar servers in the fifth grade and continue to be scheduled at the various Masses until graduation from high school.
  • Cantors, Musicians, and the Choir enhance the experience of the liturgy through their musical leadership.
  • Videographers record the Mass so that it can be watched at a later time at the local nursing homes and care facilities.

Nursing Home & Shut-In Visitation

This group strives to maintain contact with those members of our parish who are physically separated from the church community due to being homebound, especially during the winter months. Regular visits are planned so that those who cannot come to church are not forgotten as valuable members of the community. Those who are mandated as EMHCs are especially needed.

Parish Garage Sale

Twice a year the parish hosts a massive garage sale at the Skylon Ballroom as a fundraiser for the parish. Many volunteers are needed for the setup, organization, and running of the sale. Contact: Lee & Lois Lammers at 402-254-3897.

Youth Camps

Each summer, Holy Trinity offers a variety of opportunities for our young people to experience and grow in their faith.

Also, each summer, Holy Trinity is happy to host a Totus Tuus team from the Archdiocese of Omaha. They provide an on-site weeklong catechetical, faith-filled camp experience for youth in grades 1-12.
