EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
Eucharistic Ministers perform the extraordinary service of sharing the presence of Christ with all who receive His body and blood. Not only do they assist the priest in distributing communion with reverance and dignity at each Mass.
To be considered for this ministry, in addition to being a registered parishioner, an individual must be a faithful Catholic who has recieved the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist and who participates faithfully in the sacramental and liturgical life of the Church.
All Eucharistic Ministers attend a one-evening training session to become aware of the procedural aspects of their service. Upon completion of the training, ministers are commissioned by our pastor during Mass in the presence of their fellow parishioners.
In our parish, the co-ordinators of our Eucharistic Ministers are:
Margaret Leitch 6.00pm Saturday
Betty Burgoyne 7.30am Sunday
Teresa McFarlane 9.00am Sunday
People who are willing to bring Communion to the sick and elderly are invited to call Joe Fairley on 9592 5213.
