Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are lay ministers who distribute the Eucharist at Mass. They also bring Communion to the homebound or patients in hospitals or nursing homes. Lectors are those parishioners who read at Mass. If you are a parishioner and practicing Catholic and would like to join either of these two lay ministries please send an email to either Father Slawek, at [email protected], or to Cathy Canzian, at [email protected].
All lay ministers active in our parish must be approved by our Pastor. Either Father Slawek or Cathy will then review the theology, rites and correct distribution procedures for Holy Communion. For Lectors they will receive guidance on our Lector Mass practices. Lectors also receive, yearly, a book containing each Sunday’s Mass readings with advice on emphasis and on pronunciation.
