EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS HANDBOOK RESOURCES
Training evenings for those people who will serve in our parishes as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist in the coming years was held recently by the Ossory Adult Faith Development. A great number of people attended throughout the diocese and the evenings were a great success.
As part of this training, to all who participated, a small handbook was given outlining some helpful background, explanation and practical guidelines on the role of an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist in a parish and copies of a suggested format for Communion with someone who is sick.
These booklets might also be helpful for those who are already trained and serving as Ministers of the Eucharist in our parishes. If you would like to order some of these please contact Martina at the Adult Faith Development office, Wednesday – Friday at 056-7753624 or at afd@ossory.ie. The cost of the booklet is €1.

Ministers of the Word & Eucharist
Posted on 18. Mar, 2010 by ossory team in featured, Ministers of the Word & Eucharist
Recently over 500 ministers of the Word and Eucharist from around the diocese gathered at a series of evenings to reflect on their role within our faith communities.
At these evenings participants had an opportunity to deepen their understanding of their contribution to the parish community. Fr Dermot Ryan, director of Ossory Adult Faith Development, led the groups in a reflection, through art and word, on the theology of the celebration of the eucharist as the most frequent environment in which they exercise their ministry.
