Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion Training

In the absence of multiple Ordinary ministers (typically clergy), a parish with an assembly the size of St. Gregory’s needs additional help from the People of God to distribute the sacred Body and precious Blood of Christ to our parishioners at Mass and also in care facilities and at home.  This ministry is a profound privilege and powerful witness, it is also one that can never be taken lightly.  It is open to all practicing Catholics in good standing who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation (14 years old and above).   We accept all eligible candidates, but are in particular need of extraordinary ministers at the 6:30PM Mass on Saturday Evenings and at both the 12:00 and 6:00PM Masses on Sunday.

Training is conducted in three sessions and the next sessions will be held on Friday July 21, 28 and August 4 from 7:00PM-8:30PM in church.  Please contact Ed Parma if you are interested in this ministry: (609) 915-3502 or parmasan@aol.com.
