Welcome! We hope you Ƥnd the information in our Ministry Guide helpful as you seek to deepen your faith. We have many opportunities for our parishioners to be involved in and share their talents with our community. There are many details that many of us never see that need to be taken care of to prepare for all the Masses every week. It takes about 20 volunteers PER Mass to help celebrate the Eucharist. That’s about 60 people every weekend. There are many more volunteers, however, in the background who also help in preparing the Mass every week. As you look through the guide and see something that tickles your fancy—please contact the person listed or call the Parish Oƥce. If you would like to see a ministry or program that is not listed—please—feel free to help start it! We encourage everyone to become involved with the church as your individual talents will shine! Also, anytime you have questions about St. Titus Parish, please feel free to call….we are here to serve.

We, the faithful of St. Titus Parish, in communion with our Holy Father and our Archbishop, proclaim to everyone the Good News that is the Light of the World who oơers eternal salvation to all who follow him. Baptized into Christ Jesus and conƤrmed by the Gift of the Holy Spirit, we desire to share this Light by proclaiming the for forgiveness and reconciliation to every person. We are united in our Church’s Teachings and in the variety of the gifts, services and ministries that we use to strengthen the Kingdom of God. And so, we commit ourselves to:

x Worship of God in spirit and truth through prayer without ceasing and, especially through the celebration of the Eucharist, the Sacraments and the Liturgy of the Word.

x Create and nourish Christian community both in the domestic church of the family, the gathered church of the parish and the society in which we live and work.

x Proclaim in word and deed the Good News of Jesus Christ to all persons, inviting each brother and sister to join with us in faith and in action.

x Teach the saving message of Christ so that all believers might come to deeper understanding, conversion and personal witness to Christ, and so, by their lives, attract to Christ those who do not believe.

x Serve all those in need, especially the poor and neglected by generous acts of charity and by shared eơorts with all people of good will who seek after Justice and Peace.

United with Mary, the Mother of God, with Saint Titus, our Patron, and with all the Communion of , we pray to God day by day for the success of our portion of the Church’s mission. May the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit bless us and guide us in our pilgrimage through this world to the Kingdom of Heaven.
