Altar Servers  (click to see schedule) 

Girls and boys in the sixth grade are invited to begin server training. Sixth, seventh and eighth graders (attending either Nativity School, Religious Ed classes or home-schooled) are scheduled on a monthly basis.

New servers must attend one training session.
All servers and their parents must submit an interest form/permission slip yearly.

Medals are awarded to the eighth graders who have given extraordinary service during their eighth-grade year. A student's commitment as a server, especially during the summer months, is of utmost importance.

Server Interest Form/Permission Slip
Please complete this form and submit to the parish office, school office or directly email to Lisa Render at lrender@nativityindy.org 

Eucharistic Ministers  (click to see schedul)

Eucharistic Ministers assist with the distribution of Communion during weekend Masses and Communion Services during Lent. Twenty-four Eucharistic Ministers are needed per week. There are normally 80+ ministers. Volunteers need to be confirmed Catholics. The training period is 45 minutes and each minister is asked to serve one Mass every 4-5 weeks. A blessing or commissioning by the pastor prior to participating in their first Mass is planned.

Eucharistic Ministers to the Homebound  

These Ministers must be confirmed Catholics.  They receive training and are placed on a schedule which has them visiting parishioners on a four to five week rotation. Homebound Ministers choose this ministry because they enjoy the opportunity of bringing Communion to others and are happy to be a link for them to our parish community.

Proclaimers (Lectors)

Lectors read the Word of God during the Mass. This ministry's purpose is to engage the people in the Living Word being spoken and heard. Volunteers need to be confirmed Catholics, have a strong voice and an aptitude for reading aloud with conviction. One hour of initial training is provided, as well as workbooks. Schedules are prepared quarterly.
