What is the Lord asking me to day for my parish family? What is the requesting you and you family this year? What is my share in the apostolate, in the mission of the Jesus Christ in my parish and community? How do I see myself in relation to my parish life? Do I think of myself as receiving and/or of sharing, as giving? When we gather to celebrate the Eucharist, we gather as Eucharistic people. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Church’s life. It is the center and goal of all sacramental life. The Church’s sacraments, ministries, and works of apostolate are bound up with the Eucharist and are directed towards it. Below are some of ways you can share your time and talents with our parish family in the Eucharistic setting. Summer parishioners are encouraged to be part of any of the ministry they choose. Provision will be made for them whenever they are around, they only need to let the parish office or the oversee of each ministry know when they plan to be in the area.  Note that there are other parish or diocesan policies that need to be followed in each of the ministries. You are called to register in the gathering space, ministers will be at the table to help you and answer your questions, if any.
