PARISH MINISTRIES & GROUPS PARISH ADVISORY COUNCIL The Parish Advisory Council meets in the Spring, June and October, to discuss parish matters and offers advice. Forthcoming meetings are advertised in the Parish Bulletin. Items for the agenda can be proposed through any member of the Council. WORSHIP Ministry of the Eucharist Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist assist with the distribution of Holy Communion at Ministry to the Sick Extraordinary Ministers of the Sick visit the sick and housebound of the parish, and bring them communion when requested. They are also commissioned on the Feast of Corpus Christi each year. Contact Father Michael. Ministry of the Word “Sacred Scripture is of the greatest importance in the celebration of the Liturgy” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, 24) Those who have received the sacrament of Confirmation and who have undergone training may offer themselves to this ministry of proclaiming the Word of God. Contact Mrs Ministry of Music “Liturgical worship is given a more noble form when it is celebrated in song” (Instruction on Music in the Liturgy, 5) Musicians, especially organists are always needed to help with the music in the Liturgy. The Choir leads the singing at the mid-morning Mass each Sunday. New choir members are welcome. Contact Mrs Jeni Burridge, Mrs Kathryn Merry or Mr Ministry of Servers Anyone who has received their First Holy Communion and is willing to assist at the altar should contact Mr Michael Burridge. Ministry of Welcome Welcomers extend a Christian greeting as we gather to worship. They distribute materials needed for the liturgy and ensure that everyone has a seat at Children’s Liturgy For the moment, this is suspended. Ideally, this is conducted by a catechist whilst the Liturgy of the Word is being celebrated in the Church.
