EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION Confirmed men and women extend their love of the sacrament by assisting with the distribution of the Holy Eucharist. These lay people are sometimes referred to as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. They serve by bringing communion to parishioners who reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, or to those that are in their own homes and are unable to get to church. They also assist the priest in distributing the Eucharist at Mass. If you wish to consider this ministry, or would like more information, please contact Deacon Brian Lester. HOSPITALITY Being a welcoming community is very important to us. Hospitality Ministers are the first face of the parish. They greet those coming into our church, offer assistance to those in need, distribute parish bulletins, take up the collection, and distribute other materials as needed. If you wish to consider this ministry, or would like more information, please contact Deacon Brian Lester. LECTORS Confirmed men and women proclaim the Word of God at Mass. This ministry requires a commitment of 1 to 2 Masses per month. Lectors proclaim the Word of God clearly and understandably so that all who hear may respond. If you wish to consider this ministry, or would like more information, please contact Deacon Brian Lester.
