It is what we all do together as Church. The most important ministry is the one we all share with equal responsibiliy as a baptized people. Eucharistic Ministers are members of the Assembly who assist in the distribution of the Eucharist. Some Eucharistic Ministers give love, support and care to the sick by bringing them Holy Communion. Annual training sessions begin after the New Year, and Eucharistic Ministers are commissioned on the Feast of Corpus Christi for the period of one year.
Annual renewal is necessary.
Each serves the parish by greeting worshipers as the enter the church, being able to answer questions pertaining to parish activities and the Mass schedules, seeing that chairs and Orders of Worship are available, taking up the offertory gifts, assisting with seating and distributing bulletins. For more information, please check the Usher Page . Ideally during the year we'd like each family to serve during the Liturgy by presenting the gifts at the Offertory during the Liturgy. Families are contacted on a alphabetical basis, throughout the year, and asked to serve in this capacity so that it is not necessary to register for this ministry. Parishoners who can be available on a standby basis to substitute, however, should complete a registraion form.
