Eucharistic Ministers are commissioned to assist the priest with the distribution of Communion during Mass when it is given in both kinds, and at Father’s request to take communion to sick or infirm parishioners in their homes or in hospital.

They also organise Eucharistic Services in Fr Gerald’s absence. These services take place on those weekdays when Mass is not available to St Teresa’s. They include the Readings of the day, a specially composed Prayer of Thanksgiving suitable for the season, and communion.

Many members of St Teresa’s are able to get to weekday mass, either regularly or occasionally, contributing to daily praise of God on behalf of the whole parish. The Eucharistic Service when Father is away enables this daily praise to continue unbroken.

If you are interested in becoming a Eucharistic Minister, please have a chat with Richard or Rhona Carr.
