This is a required set of courses for certification and highly recommended by Fr. Steve.

Meet Saturdays in the Regina Caeli Room 8:45am to 3:00pm (bring brown bag lunch) Pick up registration and pay materials fee of $30 to Patricia St. Amour at the Parish Office by August 10th.

an appeal for eucharistic ministers
“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
― St. Teresa of Ávila
What better way to be the hands and feet of Jesus than to take the Eucharist out into the world? More Extraordinary Ministers are needed to help serve during mass and/or visit the homebound. Being an Extraordinary Minister does not obligate you to do both! Please prayerfully consider joining this important ministry – and please pray for those who are already serving. Call Nancy Glover if you would like to join our efforts – 254-223-0767. -
