We have a strong army of Ministers of the Eucharist
who help with the distribution of the Sacred Host
and the Precious Blood at Mass. They also minister
to the housebound of the parish by taking them Holy
Communion after Sunday Masses thus uniting them with
the rest of the parish at Mass on Sundays. |
