Cantors

Contact: The Rectory
610-623-0409

Through sung prayer, cantors enjoy praising God, growing musically and spiritually, and enjoying each other’s friendship. Cantors help the members of St. Pius X (the gathered Assembly) to rightfully claim their role as full, conscious, and active participants in the liturgy through their gift of singing. Cantors experience a deeper involvement in scripture and liturgy.  Cantors must live in conformity with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Altar Linen Ministry

Contact:  The Rectory

Collecting, washing, ironing and returning the linens used at Mass. The skill needed is just a simple process of laundering the linens.  A group of parishioners will participate in a simple weekly rotating schedule.

Each week a volunteer picks up the soiled linens, which were used for the Sunday and weekday Liturgies, to take home and wash and iron. These linens are then returned before the following weekend. You would do it on a rotating schedule every few weeks.  The only qualification you need is to show a desire to serve our Lord behind the scenes.
