Lectors and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communionback to top

St. Paul enjoys the services of a corps of Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, some who also serve as lectors. This ministry assists our Pastor by preparing for Mass, setting up chalices, patens of altar bread, water, wine, etc. The eucharistic ministers assist at communion time by distributing Holy Communion in both forms. Lectors proclaim the reading. One can be both a lector and a minister.

Lectors and eucharistic ministers must be a Catholic of good standing, who regularly participate at Mass and other church services.

For more information on becoming a lector or eucharistic minister, call Bill Gifford at 443-1166.
