ALTAR SERVERS
Altar servers participate in the Mass by carrying the Crucifix staff, extinguishing the candle lit for the reading of the Gospel, lighting the altar candles before the Holy Eucharist, and assisting the attending priest with the Holy Eucharist. During religious observance of Holy Days, the altar servers may carry the incense for the priest during the procession among the congregation.
If you are a young person in grades 5-12 and would like to give back to your community, please consider serving at the altar.

BEREAVEMENT
When someone you love dies, it can be a very difficult time. We can help you with arrangements for the funeral or memorial for the person who has gone on to the refreshment, light and peace of God’s heavenly kingdom. And afterwards, we have periodic support groups for those who would like to share with others how best to handle the sense of loss they are experiencing. Please contact call the parish office if you need to make funeral arrangements.

EUCHARIST FOR THE SICK & HOMEBOUND
In the gospel, Jesus often reminds us that as His followers we are to be servants to all. Visiting the sick to bring the Eucharist as well as the love, prayers and the support of the OLM community is one vital way to serve, to connect those who are not able to be with us at Sunday Mass.
If you would like to serve in this ministry or you know of a shut-in that would like to be visited by the OLM Homebound Ministry Team, please call the
Parish Office @ 310.456.2361
LITURGICAL HOSPITALITY
Looking to join a ministry that will help transform the Sunday experience for parishioners and visitors alike at OLM? Look no further. We’re building a Hospitality Ministry team to help engage the community before and after all Masses, handing out worship aids and bulletins. The only requirements necessary are a time commitment of fifteen minutes before and after Mass, as well as an inviting smile.
If you’re looking to engage the community in this way, please email Leslie Godwin via Flocknote.
LECTORS & EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
Lectors & Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
at Our Lady of Malibu assist our Priest by serving the
Assembly at Mass. The infirmed or aged are served in
their homes. The Lector proclaims the Word - The
Good News - of the Lord to the faithful during Sunday
Mass or special Liturgies. The Extraordinary Minister
of the Eucharist assists the Priest to insure that the
distribution of Holy Communion is done in a reverent
and orderly manner. Our sick and home bound members of our OLM community are served in their homes. If you indeed have a servant's heart and are interested in learning more about these Ministries please email Sue Andresian or reach out via Flocknote.

SACRISTANS
The sacristan arranges the liturgical books, the vestments, and other appurtenances used in the celebration of the Mass. The sacristan prepares the liturgical books by marking the divisions to facilitate the smooth procession of the Mass. S/he lays out the Celebrant's vestments and items needed for the celebration, such as chalices, cruets, ciboria, linens, oils, processional crosses, candles, and torches. The sacristan also ensures that the Mass appurtenances are available, including the host, the wine, hand towels, incense, oil, etc.Email the Parish Office

USHERS
Ushers play an important role inside the church. They welcome all at the door, and in busy times the ushers will assist visitors with seating. Ushers also select the visitors to carry the gifts to the altar, as well as oversee the giving.
