Extraordinary Ministers

Extraordinary Ministers aid in distributing the Holy Eucharist both at Liturgy and by bringing the Body of Christ to our infirm and homebound parishioners as well as those in nursing homes. Special training is offered for this ministry.

Lectors

Lectors proclaim the Word of God to the Assembly and lead the General Intercessions.

Altar Servers

Prayer Intention Book

Prayer RequestsThere is a new Liturgical prayer intention book in the back of the church. The book is in accordance with the Liturgical year and has space for intentions every day of the week. We encourage you to “briefly” indicate your intention on the lines provided for that specific day. All intentions will be included in the petitions for that day.

Mass Completion

Masses which begin are to he completed if at all possible. If a parishioner takes ill during a Mass, we simply cannot dismiss the congregation. While certainly the ill person must be ministered to, the Mass must be prudently continued; also if the priest celebrating the Mass takes ill, the Mass is to be completed by another priest if at all possible. Please keep this in mind if any instances of illness occur during the celebration of the liturgy.
