Lay Eucharistic Ministers
“In the healing name of Jesus”
So begins the sending forth prayer of the Lay Eucharist Ministers near the close of many of our Holy Communion celebrations. The LEM is a special ministry of lay persons who have been licensed by the diocese to an extraordinary ministry. That 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 those who cannot attend the services at the church and are desirous of 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).
