Dear Fellow Ministers,
I hope you and your family had a very happy and holy Lenten and Easter season.
We are back in ordinary time in a few weeks, after we celebrate Pentecost. New
minister training is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, August 20 in the Main
Church. 9am for our new Eucharistic Ministers and 10am for our new Lectors.
Watch the Bulletin for details. Send a friend or come yourself for a refresher
course.
LECTORS: Thank you to our 10am Ministers who were
assigned to read in the Ministry Center for Palm Sunday and Easter. Your
assistance is always appreciated. We have received very positive comments
about our lectors. The time that you take to prepare your reading prior to the
weekend is evident and appreciated by those who listen to you proclaim the Word.
Continue to do the fantastic job you’ve been doing!
ALTAR SERVERS: Please sign in when you serve at
Mass. Select the correct size robe so that you don’t trip on the edge or have it
appear too short. Feel free to ask an adult for assistance if you’re not sure of
size. Thanks to all our “veteran” servers who help guide our new servers. Please
let me know before Labor Day if you do not wish to serve for the Fall 2011
schedule. I appreciate your dedication but understand when you want to move on
to a new ministry. It’s much easier to honor your request if you let me know
prior to the date I begin to type the schedule. Call or send an email with any
changes.
EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION: As you
may have noticed, we are no longer referred to as Eucharistic Ministers, but
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, as all non-clergy Eucharistic
ministers are called. Wear your new title with pride! We will be commissioned
the weekend of June 25-26 to coincide with the observance of the Body and Blood
of Christ. A reminder: please do not remove your cup or bowl from the
altar, wait for Father to give it to you. If you are a cup minister please
consume what is left in your glass discreetly at your station, do not leave it
for the deacon to consume. Be aware that some people will come to you for a
blessing, with arms folded across their chest. A touch or the sign of the cross
on the forehead is fine. We also have a few parishioners who only receive the
cup. Serve all who approach you.
AND FINALLY… Please refer to your schedule for your
weekly Mass assignments. Remember, you can always go to our website and download
your schedule. Save the roster so you can find a substitute in case you cannot
be present. If you have an email address change please notify me so we can
communicate more efficiently! The Fall Schedule will cover October 2011
through January, 2012, including Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Deadline
for all requests will be at 9am on MONDAY, September 5, 2011. Let me know if you
want to change Mass times, take days off or resign from a ministry. All requests
will be honored that are received by the deadline. Thank you for your devotion
to our parish and our ministries!
