COUNTDOWN ~ A Blessing

DAY 335

Today we received a special blessing in preparation to continue as ministers of communion. Our current priest brought us up to date on what is expected in this ministry along with a question and answer session. Father is quick and efficient with his delivery of the mass and instills this in all the ministries. We always waited until the congregation exchanged handshakes offering peace before going to the Tabernacle, now we are to go to the Tabernacle once "Our Father" has been recited and then proceed to the alter. We were instructed of the proper reverence when approaching the Tabernacle, as well as removing and replacing the ciboriums properly.

This was a good day to meet up with friends we have made and to connect with those we don't see often as they attend mass at a different time. We noticed that there were several new ministers, which is wonderful. Father did comment that our church was rich with people willing to volunteer their time.
