Eucharistic Ministry
Is the Lord calling you to be a Eucharistic Minister? Eucharistic ministers are lay people who have been commissioned by the Church to help with the distribution of Holy Communion at Masses and to bring Holy Communion to the sick, infirm and housebound who can no longer come to Mass. Before being commissioned the Ministers are invited to take part in a preparation process outlining the great importance of the Eucharist and also the practicalities involved in the distribution. If you would like to get involved in this Ministry please give your name to one of the priests or leave it with the sacristan or parish secretary.
