Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors
We are nearing the “end of term” for many Lectors and Eucharistic
Ministers who serve at weekend liturgies and this, of course, means
replacing them. Specifically, we will need 5 additional Lectors and
30 Eucharistic Ministers for the three year term beginning October 2nd
and 3rd.
We are seeking people 16 years of age or over, practicing Catholics
in full communion with the Church. May we invite you to give
prayerful and serious thought to serving in this ministry? Perhaps
you have done this in the distant or recent past and are hesitant to
volunteer again because you feel others should have the opportunity
now. But there’s room for everyone because we need at least 85
Eucharistic Ministers and 22 Lectors altogether in order to
accommodate personal Mass time preferences of each person. Training
sessions will be held for New Liturgical Ministers and optional for
returning ministers who would like to attend:
Eucharistic Ministers: Monday, September 7, 2010
Upper Church 6:45 – 8:30 PM
Lectors: Sunday, October 3, 2010
Upper Church: 2:00 – 4:00 PM
True, this ministry, like many others, often means surrendering
personal desire to the needs of the entire community, which may
cause inconvenience. Service entails commitment and responsibility –
but the rewards are great. Ask anyone who has served.

Lifeteen
Parents can you help?
Mrs. Susan Matthews, one of our parents,
generously coordinates the preparation of the meals that are served
at the end of every LifeNight. Since we ask teens to fast 1 hour
prior to Mass, and then have a LifeNight after Mass until 8:00 pm,
we try to offer them a light dinner each Sunday. Could you volunteer
to prepare one or more meals for our teens during this upcoming
school year? Please see Susan, or phone her at (781) 871-2190.
Teach CCD
Catechesis
is an educational ministry and volunteer catechists are ministers as
well as teachers who share with the children of the parish what it
means to be a Catholic Christian in today’s world. Please remember
that the religious foundation of our youngsters depends upon the
generosity of our adults. We are constantly in need of volunteers.
Call the
office if you would consider helping in this important ministry.
