~ ENGAGED COUPLE SPONSOR ~

The Engaged Couples Ministry provides the tools necessary for the building of a strong and lasting marriage based on understanding the true purpose of marriage, sharing common interests and preparing themselves for the practical aspects of marriage.  It teaches the biblical aspects of marriage based on God’s teachings, in order to strengthen their marriage and become closer to God. ~ EUCHARISTIC ADORATION ~

     "So, you could not stay awake with Me for even one hour?  Be on guard, and pray that you may not undergo the test. (Matthew 26:40-41)”  The goal of Eucharistic Adoration is to see all 70 hours committed by at least one adorer.  There are different ways to “watch one hour” with the Lord.  One of the most powerful and fruitful ways to spend an hour in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament is called a "Holy Hour" because it is an hour spent in the presence of the Holy Eucharist: Christ, Himself, the One who alone is Holy.  You can pray, alone or with others, before Jesus in the Tabernacle in our Adoration Chapel. ~ EUCHARISTIC APOSTLES OF THE DIVINE MERCY CENACLE ~ 
    
     Our mission is to profess and proclaim the truth of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist, and to promote, insofar as possible, Perpetual Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament and the hourly offering of the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the dying and to bring to a hurting world the Divine Mercy Message and Devotion according to the revelations granted to the Church through Saint Faustina Kowalska by experiencing the splendor of our Catholic faith through the study of Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Church, and the Diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska. 
  ~ EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION (EUCHARISTIC
MINISTERS) ~
    
     Eucharistic ministers serve the community by sharing the Body and Blood of Christ at Mass, to the sick in the hospital, or to the homebound.  It requires an understanding and reverence for the Eucharist.  Adults and teenagers who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation may serve in this ministry.     
     The Family Mass Liturgists Ensemble has the primary mission of reflecting the sacred mass of the Eucharist by offering an opportunity for the community gathering each Sunday to worship and celebrate through contemplative song.  We incorporate contemporary, folk and traditional repertoire.  We strive to provide a predictable musical environment for the liturgy and strictly adhering to the message of the readings of the day.  We have discovered that a consistently applied liturgical methodology encourages prayerful musical expression, even of non-musical parishioners.  We are comprised of several instrumentalists and vocalists.  While we do not hold formal auditions, our style and charisma tends to attract highly skilled musicians.
~ FISHERS OF MEN ~   

We are Catholic men from St. Gregory the Great Parish, who get together to discuss our lives in the light of the Catholic faith and to share our faith and experience through friendship and prayer.  We will support, affirm and share insights about the differences men encounter in both their home and work lives.  We will also seek God’s help in dealing with the issues we confront every day.  We strive to reinforce Christian values in our homes, reach out to share those values with others in our group and support other men who are struggling to do the same.
 
Our St. Gregory’s Fishers of Men Ministry, which consists of about 30 men, meet on alternate Saturday mornings in our Parish Hall for sunrise fellowship and prayer.  We begin by reciting the Rosary.  The readings for the upcoming Sunday Mass are read and then small groups are formed for discussion and sharing of experiences or thoughts on the verses they will hear again at Mass.
