AV / Worship Media Ministry
Who We Are & What We Do
The Worship Media Ministry at St. Ann enhances the liturgy through modern technology, making worship more engaging and accessible. Using screens, computers, and cameras, we display lyrics, prayers, videos, and live images of sacred rites. We also livestream services, allowing those unable to attend in person to stay connected. By blending technology with tradition, we create a more immersive worship experience.
Why We Exist
Our ministry exists to deepen the assembly’s connection to the sacred by integrating technology into worship. We expand our outreach by offering virtual participation for the homebound and those unable to attend in person. Additionally, we strive to provide accessible tools for individuals with hearing challenges, ensuring that everyone—regardless of physical presence—can fully participate in the liturgy. Above all, we seek to preserve the sanctity of the Mass while enriching it through visual and audio support.
Who We Serve
We enhance the worship experience for both in-person and remote attendees, helping visitors and newcomers follow the liturgy with clear visuals. Additionally, we support special events like weddings and funerals by tailoring media to ensure every sacred moment is accessible and meaningful.
Volunteer Opportunities
We welcome volunteers who are eager to support worship through media and technology.
Opportunities include:
- ProPresenter Operator: Display lyrics, prayers, and videos on the sanctuary screens.
- Video Switching: Manage live camera feeds to capture key moments of the liturgy.
- Audio Mixing & Support: Ensure clear sound for both in-person and livestreamed services.
- No prior technical experience is required—just a willingness to learn! Training is provided, and while it takes time to become proficient, our team will guide you every step of the way.
Special Requirements
Volunteers should have a love for God, a heart for service, and an ability to focus on the tasks at hand. Familiarity with the flow of the liturgy and music is helpful, but training will cover everything needed. Commitment and reliability are important, as our ministry plays a key role in enhancing the worship experience for the entire parish.
