Ministries
Christ the Light of the World Parish is fortunate to have the dedictated assistance of many lay persons who volunteer their time through our many ministries. Here you will find a description about each one. If you are interested in participating in any of our ministries, please contact us.
Music Ministry
The music ministry serves Christ the Light of the World Parish as well as St. Joseph Parish. We are fortunate to be able to enjoy the talents of the choir members along with Debbie Walters, Ray Judy and Greg Lesko.
Song is well integrated into the overall celebration and corresponds to the meaning of the mystery being celebrated and the liturgical season.
