Opportunities to Be ExtraOrdinary Well, the Christmas season is now behind us and we have entered into Ordinary Time. As much as I relish the beauty and joy of the Christmas season, there’s something comforting to me about returning to the “ordinary” routine, whether it be at church or at home. However, one thing we all need to remember is that while it may be Ordinary Time, we are still called to be extraordinary Christians in our prayer, in our service to others, and in our ministry to the Church. In this new year and at the beginning of Ordinary Time, I invite you to consider how you can be more than “ordinary” to the life of our Church. Perhaps you could consider joining the Prayer Circle, which sends e-mails about prayer requests (contact Cathy Cooke at [email protected] if you would like to join), volunteering at our Food Pantry on Tuesdays (contact John or Joan McQueeney at [email protected]), or joining one of the liturgical ministries as a cantor/choir member, usher, altar server, Communion minister, or lector (contact me at [email protected] about any of these ministries). The parish – and our Church universal – needs you to share your faith and your gifts! A new ministry, vital to our celebration of the Eucharist, in which you may be interested in joining is sacristan. We have several individuals who partially fill this role by cleaning the church linens faithfully – thank you! – but we would like to extend this ministry by inviting parishioners to set up for our weekend Masses. Among other responsibilities, the role of these sacristans would include preparing the sanctuary for each Mass. Sacristans place the vessels needed for Mass on the credence table, prepare the hosts and wine that will become the Body and Blood of our Lord, check the oil canisters for the candles, turn on lights, etc. If you would like to join this ministry or if you simply have questions about it, please contact me or Sharon Woloszyn ([email protected]). So many opportunities to be extraordinary Christians! May we all respond to these opportunities with eagerness and zeal, showing our gratitude to God for the gift of His Son – whether it’s Ordinary Time or not. Blessings in the week ahead, Patrick SACRAMENTS BAPTISM: A preparation session is required before the baptism of your child. Please call 273-6121 prior to your due date for an ap- pointment. RECONCILIATION : Saturday 2:30P—4PM MARRIAGE : Please call 273-6121 at least 6 months in advance of your anticipated wedding date. ANOINTING OF THE SICK : Call 273-6121 to request this sacrament. HOSPITALIZATIONS: Call 273-6121 if your loved one is in the hospital.
