Ministries

Altar Servers

The Ministry of Altar Servers includes children and young people interested in serving the Lord during weekend liturgies. Along with assisting the priests, Altar Servers participate fully in the mass; through prayer, singing and their respect for the Word of God.

Candidates are required to have received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion before serving.

We give a warm welcome to all young people interested in joining this ministry. We encourage you to complete the registration form and send it to the parish office. After a training session, candidates will be included in upcoming liturgies. We appreciate the assistance of parents who also support this ministry.

Don Bosco Ministry

The Don Bosco Ministry’s vision is to guide and support the members of the Doral Community towards a better life in the areas of Immigration and Citizenship, Job Search, Health and Well-Being, Finance and Education in various topics. Our members act as facilitators by organizing talks, fairs and events that seek to accomplish our goals.

Eucharistic Ministries

The Eucharist Minister is responsible for bringing the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ to the people of God during Mass. This is one of the duties of ordained ministers (priests and deacons) in their service as "Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion"; however, committed lay men and women may help priests and deacons in this duty as designated "Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion".

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should have received the sacraments of Baptism, Communion and Confirmation, be at least 25 years old and desire to live the message of the Gospel in their lives. If married, it must be by the Catholic Church, and they should participate faithfully in every Sunday Mass.

Interested candidates should send a letter to the parish priest expressing their desire to serve in this ministry. Once accepted as a candidate, you must take a special course in the Archdiocese of Miami or in our Parish. After passing the course you will receive the diocesan license of "Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister".

Extraordinary Ministers of Our Lady of Guadalupe not only enable us to experience the fullness of the Eucharist at Mass; but also bring our Lord to the sick and homebound.

Lectors

Lectors are parishioners who have volunteered to serve during Sunday liturgies, holy days and feast days. They are responsible for communicating with an understandable and clear voice the Word of God during the celebration of mass.

This Ministry shares the message of God to the congregation and thereby inspires and educates the assembly with a message of hope and redemption. Interested candidates should send a letter to the Parish priest expressing their desire to serve in this Ministry. Once accepted, an initial training is provided.

Prayer Request

We are a group of dedicated volunteers of the Catholic Church Our Lady of Guadalupe in Doral, Florida United States, who believe in the power of prayer.

Jesus himself said:

"...Whatever you ask in your prayers with faith shall obtain. (Mt 21,22)

We are willing to unite as brothers to ask God for help and consolation for those who are suffering and is in need. We do for Love must triumph forever. This is an expression of love and brotherhood that we can work in the vineyard of the Lord.

Mission

To usher each person into the presence of God by providing an atmosphere that is free of as many distractions as possible, yet maintain freedom, order, reverence and respect.

This ministry is more than just passing the offertory basket. Ushering is a form of Christian hospitality. The usher is the first impression of the church for those who are attending Mass. The usher is even more important than flowers and music in setting the environment for the Mass. Look at your ministry as being Christ to everyone you meet. Ushers have a tremendous responsibility in creating the right atmosphere for worship and fellowship.

Greet people with a smile and say “Welcome to Our Lady of Guadalupe, it is good to see you today!” As an usher, you are often the first impression people have of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We usher the people of God into the presence of God and we assist in ushering in the presence of God. We are called to insure the orderly conduct of the people of God in the House of God. We are spiritual gatekeepers.
