Extra Ordinary Eucharistic Ministers

Extra Ordinary Eucharist Ministers (E.M.’s) help Father and Deacon during masses with the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. E.M.’s serve our parish community by giving communion during Mass, to the Homebound, and people in Hospitals. Delegation by the Diocese for Commissioning of E.M.’s is given twice a year on the Solemnities of Corpus Christi and Christ the King. E.M. Commissions have to be renewed every three years. New E.M.’s and those who would like to be commissioned at Holy Family, will need to take a Theology and Technical class. If you are interested in becoming an E.M. for the assembly, hospitals, or those in nursing homes or homebound, please contact Edgar for more Information.

Lectors

“When the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present in his word, proclaims the Gospel. Therefore, the readings from the Word of God are to be listened to reverently by everyone, for they are an element of the greatest importance in the Liturgy…” (General Instruction of the Roman Missal [GIRM], no. 29).
There is no special requirement to become a lector other than to receive a training session on how to go about proclaiming the word of God with Reverence. If you are interested in becoming a Lector Michele DesLauriers will be providing the training for all new Lectors. Please contact Edgar for more Information.

Ushers

Before Mass starts, Ushers check the thermostat, check the restrooms, make sure the hymnals are placed correctly, and prepare the baskets for collection and the bulletins for distribution. Ushers are the doorkeepers, greeting each person with a smile and shaking people’s hands as they arrive for Mass, they assist people with special needs and responsible to take up the church offering.

Music Ministry

One of God’s greatest gifts to us, his creation, was the gift of song. In words and music, our ancestors in faith—Moses, David, Deborah, Paul, St. Gregory—have taught us how to revel in God’s infinite love, proclaim his glory, give thanks for his abounding generosity, and plead for mercy and forgiveness. If you are interested in helping with Music Ministry, whether it be in the choir or with a musical instrument, please contact Gypsy.
