Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
This is Jesus' invitation to discipleship in Matthew 11:28-30.
Father Patrick M. Crino, Pastor
Eucharistic Ministers
-
There is no greater or more sacred lay ministry than that of a Eucharistic Minister - more precisely an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion...someone called upon to assist the priest in the distribution of the Body of Christ during Mass. At St. Thomas these are parishioners who are duly instituted acolytes or even other faithful who have been enlightened and trained for this purpose.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion receive sufficient spiritual, theological and practical preparation to fulfill their roles with knowledge and reverence.
