The laity ARE SUPPOSED to respond to their baptismal priesthood.  There are many fine men who sing in the choir, provide hospitality and engage in parish outreach.  And there are many women/girls who serve as acolytes, and are excellent in their service.

BTW---it is a ministry.  That term is not just for clergy anymore.
