Serve

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.”

1 Peter 4:10

At North Harbour, service is how we put love into action. Every ministry — whether liturgical, pastoral, or outreach — is an expression of our Augustinian spirit: walking together, sharing our gifts, and building a community where no one stands alone.

​

Here you’ll find opportunities to serve within our parish family and beyond it. Some ministries support our worship, some care for those in need, and others nurture the spiritual life of our community. All of them help us grow in friendship, compassion, and faith.

  • Assist with the parish collection during Mass.

    • Wash and care for purificators, corporals, altar cloths, and other linens.

  • Assist in sharing the Body of Christ at Mass.

  • Provide refreshments and connection after Mass and at events.

  • Young parishioners helping with the sacred actions of the Mass.

  • Lift our prayer through song and instrumental music.

  • Operate the slides to support full participation.

  • Proclaim the Word of God with clarity and reverence.

  • Support the presider and assist at the altar.

  • Offer hospitality and a warm first greeting at Mass.

LITURGICAL MINISTRIES

  • Support the formation of future Augustinians through fundraising and community events.

  • Cook meals for the homeless, vulnerable, and disadvantaged.

  • Catechists support children in their journey of faith, sharing the message of the Gospel and helping others grow in their relationship with Christ.

  • Visit parishioners who can’t come to Mass, offering prayer, companionship, and Holy Communion.

  • Stand with those on the margins through advocacy and practical help.

  • Support people facing hardship or crisis with practical assistance and compassionate listening.

PASTORAL & OUTREACH MINISTRIES
SPIRITUAL GROWTH & REFLECTION

“Do small things with great love.”
