Eucharistic visitors, lay readers and chalice bearers

“In the healing name of Jesus…”

So begins the sending forth prayer of the Eucharist visitors near the close of many of our celebrations of the Holy Eucharist. Eucharistic visitation is a special ministry of lay persons called by God and licensed by the Bishop. It is the ministry of taking the Sacrament, consecrated at a celebration of the Holy Eucharist, to members of the congregation who, by reason of illness or infirmity, are unable to be present at the Celebration. Many have been enriched by this sacramental ministry, both those who take the sacrament and those who receive it.

If you know of someone who cannot attend the services at the church and would like to have the Eucharist brought to them, or if you would like to be a part of this extraordinary ministry, please contact the office (648-5497).

Lay readers and chalice bearers participate during the service. If you currently participate in one of these ministries and would like a copy of the current roster, please contact Dave Hepner.
