Altar servers are young people in grades five through twelve who wish to assist the priest in the celebration of liturgies throughout the year. Liturgies are celebrated daily and on weekends. Servers are also needed at weddings and funerals. Any baptized Catholic boy or girl who has received his or her First Communion is eligible to act as an Altar Server.

After the introductory Rite at selected Sunday Masses, children five years old and older are led to the hall to celebrate their own Liturgy of the WORD. The Word is proclaimed from the Lectionary for the Masses with Children, followed by an inter-active homily where the readings are discussed and applied to the lives of the children. After the General Intercession, the children return to the church to participate in the Liturgy of the Eucharist with the entire congregation.

Our ministry uses the artistic talents and labors of the team to design and implement liturgical and seasonal decor throughout the church, chapel, narthex, courtyard and hall. Our goal is to enhance the sacramental celebrations, by creating a welcoming atmosphere using color, textures, and elements to communicate and embrace the liturgical themes for the various liturgical seasons and celebrations.

Ministers of the Eucharist are called by the Lord to do the following: Serve the Christian assembly gathered to celebrate the Liturgy and to serve those unable to be present at the assembly because of illness or other circumstances; the ministers assist the celebrant in the sharing of the Body, the Blood, and the Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ with the assembly present and those unable to be present.

The goal of the prayer group is to bring about in all Catholics such an enthusiasm for their faith that as they lay open their hearts to the divine message of salvation, they live their faith in Jesus and freely share it with others.

It is our responsibility as lectors to fulfill this calling with a desire to communicate God’s Word to God’s people, clearly, completely, and with reverence. To do this we must be prepared. We must know the protocol for our parish. We must be well versed in the skills necessary to proclaim effectively and most importantly, we must have a personal familiarity and love of the Word of God in Scripture. The circle of the relationship between God, God’s Word, the lector and the listener is fulfilled in our service.

We are Ministers of His Word. It is Christ himself who speaks when the Holy Scripture is proclaimed in the church. We commit to proclaiming His Word with reverence, preparation, and dedication.

St. John Eudes Music Ministry is about service: service to Almighty God and to His people. The Music Ministry enhances Sunday Masses and special liturgical events. We also glorify God in concerts both in and outside the parish. Opportunities are found in Adult Choir, Children’s Choir, Chamber Singers, Heaven’s Grace, Heaven’s Angels, Bell Choir, Contemporary Choir, and Spanish Choir.

This prayer group is devoted to our Lady of Perpetual Help.

This group gets together on Monday nights at 7:00 pm in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel to pray the Rosary.

The Spanish Prayer Group evangelizes through prayer, retreats, and praying for the sick.

Ushers are St. John Eudes parishioners who provide a welcoming and hospitable atmosphere at all parish liturgies. They ensure the orderly progress of the liturgy by seating parishioners and guests, selecting people to bring the gifts to the altar, collecting the monetary offerings, directing people toward the altar during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, protecting the Host and distributing the church bulletins.

We extend Christ’s hospitality to our community as they gather to hear His Word and to share in the "breaking of the bread." As we welcome parishioners at the doors of the church, we hope to open hearts to His message of love through a warm greeting, smile and handshake.
