Dear Liturgical Ministers, First, my sincere thanks and appreciation for all you do to assisting that all our liturgies give Glory to God and lead the faithful to authentic worship. To ensure we all are doing the same things in the varied liturgical ministries, I would like to have an evening dedicated to all the liturgical ministers coming to the church and meeting with others in your appointed or chosen ministries, and to giving necessary updates and initiatives in the varied liturgical ministries.
To cover all the ministries and allow those who participate in more than one liturgical ministry, we will have one meeting night and have leaders of each ministry to review protocols and answer questions you may have. I kindly ask for all current liturgical ministers (Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Usher or Sacristan) to be present at this important Liturgical Minister Meeting on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 at 7 PM here at St. Michael Church.
When you arrive at the church, you will be directed to your ministry's renewal training area. If you do two different ministries, no problem; since each session will last 30 minutes, you will be able to go to another session for the other ministry. The evening will last no more than one hour and fifteen minutes. Also, please come with any questions about how to use the easy and convenient liturgical scheduling app that is available.
If you cannot make the meeting, I need you to respond to me via email ([email protected]) no later than September 8 that you will not be able to attend, so we can schedule you for the necessary training session. Nonetheless, I kindly ask everyone to make every effort to be present at the September 14 meeting.
If you have not been active in your ministry and do not wish to continue in your ministry, I kindly ask you to email me to let me know you are no longer interested so we can update our records. Thank you. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Michael L. Farmer Pastor
