What is the Lord asking me today for my parish family? How can you get involved in the parish apostolate, in the mission of the church in my parish and community? When we gather to celebrate the Eucharist, we gather as Eucharistic people. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Church\u2019s life. It is the center and goal of all sacramental life. The Church\u2019s sacraments, ministries, and works of apostolate are bound up with the Eucharist and are directed towards it. Below are some of the ways you can share your time and talents with our parish family by contributing to one, or more, of the following ministries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
