The Eucharistic Liturgy is the center of our parish life and the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist is at the heart of our spiritual lives as Roman Catholic Christians. Extraordinary Ministers of The Eucharist have a very important role in the distribution of the Holy Eucharist at parish liturgies. They also assist in visiting and bringing the spiritual nourishment of Holy Communion to parishioners who are ill, in nursing homes, hospitalized, or homebound.

Young people in the fourth grade through high school are eligible to serve at the altar.
Greeter Ministry
At St. Denis we want people to feel welcome and at home as soon as they enter our church. Greeters serve in a ministry of hospitality by greeting and welcoming all who attend our weekend liturgies. Greeters also assist in seating parishioners, taking up the collection, and attending to the details of the church environment during and after the Masses.
