Environment

Just as we notice the changes in season in the world around us, the church
environment reflects the liturgical season; flowers, wreaths, purple at
Advent/Lent, red at Pentecost. Careful attention to the environment
helps draw our attention to the celebration of the liturgy.

Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist

The Eucharist is the summit toward which all preparations of the lay liturgical ministers have led; when we come together to recognize Jesus, in the breaking of the Bread. Those who distribute the body and blood of Christ should reflect the Church’s belief in the actual, real, and true presence of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Please consider the call to be an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist.
