EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS NEEDED
St. Elizabeth hospital is looking for volunteers to be a part of their Eucharistic Ministers to the patient’s team. Ideally the hospital would like to have Holy Communion offered to all patients daily, however, a shortage of volunteers has made it very difficult. They will train you and prepare you be comfortable and successful at this ministry. You can pick the day, the frequency etc., when you volunteer. Please prayerfully consider helping our Catholic friends by helping them receive Jesus every day. If you would like more information, contact Kelly in the parish office for more details.
