Situations vacant

This heading last week concerned altar servers. Immediately 5 young people come forward eager to serve on the sanctuary. So now we have eight. They are needed at each of the weekend masses – as well as for other occasions. So there are still many vacant slots to be filled. Serving is a very good way for young people to ease their way into becoming the builders and real makers of parish and church. The sacristans have returned and several more joined their rank. Other ministries: ushers, readers, musicians, ministers of communion, catechists for a Sunday children’s liturgy and others still need strengthening. So do not be shrinking violets. Come and join in the enthusiasm of those who serve rather than watch and wait to be served.
