The Eucharist sums up our beliefs: We believe in God; we believe that God's Word was made flesh in Jesus; we believe that the Holy Spirit continues to guide the Church; we believe that God speaks to us through the scriptures; we believe that Jesus gave us his body and blood on the night before he died; we believe that through his death he made possible our salvation; we believe that he rose from the dead on the third day. When we receive the Eucharist, we place ourselves in God's hands.
When faithful believers participate at Mass, they look forward to receiving Holy Communion. Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist have the honor of helping the priest as he shares the body and bread of Christ with the people. Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist are servants of Christ fulfilling his will to feed the hungry.
In addition to serving as Extraordinary Ministers of Communion at Mass, there are also ministers who bring the Eucharist to those who are homebound, the sick, or those in skilled nursing or senior care facilities. This ministry has been particularly challenging during the pandemic.
Anyone who feels called to either ministry should contact Martha Corkery, Pastoral Life Coordinator at 725-2624. She will connect you with the appropriate coordinator.
