Saturday's @ 10:00, 11:30am, 1:00 or 2:30pm
Sunday's @ 1:00 or 2:30pm
(N.B. Please call the Parish Office to arrange a meeting
with one of the Priests or Deacon at least six months before
desired wedding date. A gentle reminder, it would be prudent
to check with the Parish prior to reserving banquet facilities.
Thank You.)
At the Offertory of the Mass,
bread and wine are presented to the celebrant by gift bearers
from the congregation. These gifts represent our simple
offerings to God, and the gift bearers represent the community
of gift-givers.
To make these gift bearers truly reflective of our community,
we should see various groups represented on different Sundays.
The groups could be a parent and child(ren), two parents
and child(ren), an elderly couple, a young couple, two friends,
and so on. To help facilitate this, the Eucharistic Ministers
for each Mass will have the responsibility to invite members
of the community to be gift bearers. We hope you will accept
this invitation if you are asked.
If a family has gathered at a certain Mass for a special
reason (birthday, anniversary, etc.) and would like to have
members of its group be the gift bearers, please stop by
the sacristy before Mass and let the Eucharistic Ministers
know.
We hope this will enhance the flow of the liturgy and give
many parishioners an opportunity to feel that they participated
in the Sunday liturgy in a special way.
