Mark your calendars: There will be a training session for new Lectors and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion on Saturday, March 11. Lector training will be at 10 a.m. and EMHC training at 11 a.m. There is a particular need for extraordinary ministers, so the same people do not have to serve so often at Mass. You can also be trained to take Holy Communion to the sick and homebound. Please consider these ministries as part of your desire for spiritual growth and service to the parish. Current lectors and extraordinary ministers are also welcome to attend.
The 2022 Contribution Reports are now available. Copies are available upon request at the office during business hours or by email at [email protected]
We are so glad you attended Mass with us. We hope to see you again next week to share in our faith community and Eucharistic celebration; bring a friend with you.
