At St. Boniface, we have ministries that serve the worship services as well as ministries that serve the building and grounds. Our outreach/community ministries are regularly organized around the needs of our community and often come together spontaneously as part of an outreach passion in the congregation. St. Boniface is unique in that our members come from areas as far east as San Antonio, south to Sutherland Springs, west to Ingram, and north to Fredericksburg, with all the towns in between. We have diverse interests and passions, but we are a single church body eager to be the Light of Christ when a need is brought forward.

Bishop’s Committee: As a mission, we have a Bishop’s Committee made up of six members from the church and a clerk that meets monthly. Minutes are presented and approved; a treasurer’s report is presented and approved; and then the business of the church is discussed and moved forward.

Altar Guild: The Altar Guild prepares the altar and the church for worship and other services which take place in the sanctuary. They are responsible for inventory of the communion elements and take care of the replacement of candles and other items as needed.

Flowers/Church Décor: Several volunteers lend their talents to create a beautiful worship space during church and calendar seasons.

Choir: Several members of St. Boniface lend their voices to our choir, headed by M.D. (Doc) Stephens, our music director. The choir is open to all who wish to share their talents.

Handbell Choir: St. Boniface’s “Mary Bells” is our lovely and accomplished handbell choir. They are always looking for new faces (and hands) to share their love of music. The Bells play the third Sunday of the month and for special occasions and events.

Crucifer/Eucharistic Minister (EM): At St. Boniface, the jobs of crucifer and EM are combined. The crucifer leads the processional at the start of service, leads the gospel procession, and then leads the recession at the end of service. The EM assists the celebrant and other priests or bishops during the Holy Communion.

Lector: Our lectors read the lessons of the day as well as lead the Prayers of the People. Bringing the Word of God to the people is always a heartfelt privilege.

Greeter/Usher: This is the first impression we can make on visitors. Our greeters are pleased to be at the door welcoming all who come through the doors. Once the service begins, they become Ushers facilitating the offering and the communion service by ushering people to the altar.

Building and Grounds: Volunteers from the church and members of our Bishop’s Committee help to keep our church building and grounds in good repair and looking nice outside.
