Minister’s Schedules and Using MSP
Minister’s Schedules
Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Altar Servers and Music Ministers are scheduled via Ministry Scheduler Pro (MSP). See below for schedules and instructions on its use.
Current live MSP schedules:
Please remember that once you are scheduled, you are responsible for making sure that you get someone to take your place if you are unable to serve.
It is always best to enter your unavailable dates before the schedule is run so that you are not scheduled when you are not available to serve.
Requesting a sub is a convenience but until a sub accepts to serve in your place, you are still responsible for the role at the mass to which you have been assigned.
A list of ministry contacts is available on the Web Terminal to help you to reach out to other ministers who share your role to assist you in securing a sub to take your place.
Tip! Get acquainted with people who serve at Mass times that you do and talk about covering for one another when the need arises.
Using Ministry Scheduler Pro To Manage Your Service
We have available a series of guides for using Ministry Scheduler Pro to manage your service to the church.

Note: If you wish to volunteer for an open position (i.e. not one that someone has requested a substitution), find the position on the Full Schedules tab of the Web Terminal, or the Open Position tab of the App. Select the position and the Volunteer Now button. - MSP Trades - Step-by-step guide to making trades when substituting
- MSP Preferences - Step-by-step guide to adding and removing service preferences

In addition, Rotunda Software has a short video explaining preferences and availability, and a downloadable Web Terminal Guide in PDF format.
