This Ministry includes the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass and to the sick, homebound, and patients at Manor Care Nursing Home. Eucharistic Ministers are nominated by the Pastorial Staff and formally commissioned for service to the parish community. This organization provides adult servers at funeral Liturgies. They change and maintain altar linens and vestments. A good speaking voice and an ability to articulate clearly is needed.
Training is held in the spring and fall.
Ushers help people find seating, insure a smooth flow of worshipers at Communion time, and assist with the collection. This service group provides parish and community news to St. Brendan parishioners. The editors are people who have jobs and families and still volunteer to do the bulletin once every five weeks. People who will sponsor the candidates, offer hospitality, or share their own faith are always welcome to assist in this process. The Council's ultimate goal is to help make the vision of Christian community more of a reality at St. Brendan.
