Host Ministers: 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12
Cup Ministers: 2, 3, 6, 7, 9,

Ministers 11 and 12 are only used on Holy Days such as Christmas and Easter.

Father is always in position 5.
Deacon, when present, is always in position 4.

Minister 4 stands closest to the Altar at Father's right.

Ministers #10 and #9 serve Communion to the Altar Servers before proceeding to their positions in the chapel.

NOTE FOR MINISTER #10 (or whichever host minister finishes first) : Please fill the Pyxs located on the credence table. (There is a note with each Pyx denoting the number of hosts needed.) After Communion Father will call the ministers of the Ill to the altar to take the Pyxs.

Vessels clean-up is done by Ministers 1, 2, and 3 for all Masses except the 7:30 Mass. At that Mass all Ministers will perform those duties.
