Western Catholic Community 'WCC' Volunteers
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND YOUR SCHEDULED MASS PLEASE FIND A REPLACEMENT
Servers:
Thank you to those that attended server training during Lent. If you have questions about serving PLEASE just ask Father Dave!!
Those that serve 10am Sunday Mass @ St. John - you lead the Gift Bearers to the back of church.
Lectors:
1- Please check in with Father Dave before mass.
2- From the Lectionary Book:
Read the First Reading (readings from Year B).
DO NOT START THE RESPONSORIAL PSALM - CHOIR DOES.
Read the Second Reading.
3- Read the petitions after the Creed is recited.
4- At the end of Communion say the Prayer for Vocations.
Extraordinry Ministers of the Eucharistic:
How very special it is for you to share the Body of Christ with parishioners!
No changes are with your scheduling or duties.
For 10am - Please remember 1 Eucharistic minister must go around the church to serve the elderly.
the basics:
Go up to the alter during the Lamb of God, genuflect or bow in reverence.
If the priest gives you the host before he has consumed his - wait! The priest must have his first.
When handing each parishioner the body, hold it to present it to them and proudly say/offer "the Body of Christ". A person may never be denied if they have come forward in the communion line!
Gift Bearers:
We are always looking to expand those that present the gifts for our Eucharistic Celebration. Consider doing this very simple volunteer position!!
Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions!
