Ministry Scheduler Pro (MSP)
Ministry Scheduler Pro (MSP) is a software program that is used by Saint Raphael Parish for scheduling Altar Servers, Eucharistic Ministers, and Lectors. This semi-automated process takes into consideration experience levels, vacation dates, and family groupings to fit your busy schedule.
How Scheduling Works
Schedules are created through MSP according to the Liturgical Year and based on the preferences and "can't serve" dates you provide in MSP.
During the summer, all our student servers are scheduled for the 7:45 and 9:15 Daily Masses in addition to weekend Masses.
When school begins, only the SRS servers will be scheduled for the Daily Masses, while all our servers will continue to be scheduled for Weekend Masses or other Holy Day evening Masses.
The frequency with which you are scheduled is directly related to the number of servers in our program. We currently have approximately 95 servers and 12 Masses during a typical week.
Before a new schedule is produced, families are given the opportunity to request a regular Mass or two that has special importance to your family. For instance, a memorial Mass for a loved one or perhaps a Mass when your extended family will be visiting.
Holiday Masses are not scheduled by MSP. All servers will be given an opportunity to choose these Masses at the appropriate time. PLEASE NOTE: The days surrounding the holidays ARE scheduled by MSP so it is VERY IMPORTANT to update your "can't serve" dates in MSP when you know you will be out of town.
