First Eucharist

First Eucharist Family participation is critical in preparing a candidate to celebrate First Eucharist. Families and the candidate are invited to attend communal prayer services, workshops and a Blessing Cup Meal to prepare as a family for this sacrament.

Family participation is critical in preparing a candidate to celebrate First Eucharist. Families and the candidate are invited to attend communal prayer services, workshops and a Blessing Cup Meal to prepare as a family for this sacrament.

Through the sharing of scripture stories, prayer and growth experiences, the family recognizes the importance of daily life and how their life responds to the life of Jesus. Through the Sunday Liturgy, communal prayer services and family workshops, the families gather as a small community in preparation for the celebration of the sacrament. The coordinator invites parishioners to share their faith with the candidates during the workshops, offer administrative assistance or help coordinate the prayer service and the Blessing Cup Meal.

The First Eucharist Program welcomes all candidates who are ready to continue the journey they began at baptism. The Table of the Lord program combines group meetings after Sunday liturgy with home instruction. At the Blessing Cup Meal the sacramental symbols of water, oil, bread, wheat and the special cup remind participants that as a family of God, they are unified. Also, families are invited to gather for a prayer vigil to recognize the need to forgive and to be forgiven.

Eucharistic Ministers


	Eucharistic Ministers The members of this ministry assist the Presider in administering the Eucharist to parishioners during parish liturgies. Eucharistic ministers also distribute the Eucharist to the hospitalized, homebound and those residing in our local nursing homes. Training provided.

In a spirit of justice, charity and personal involvement, this ministry seeks to provide aid and comfort to the poor, the afflicted and the lonely. Members of the Society make personal home visits; provide advocacy and support usually in the form of food vouchers, financial assistance, clothing and furniture. (Training provided.)

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread When we pray the Our Father, we ask God to provide our food and necessities. The majority of us receive sufficient food. Others do not. We can be our Father’s instrument by providing “bread” for the needy, particularly during this cold, snowy and difficult winter. You do this by your contributions to the St. Vincent de Paul Society

Thanks to all who contributed to our St. Boniface St. Vincent de Paul Conference over the past year. We were able to help many of our neighbors. Some people had no money for food, others no beds – they were sleeping on the floor – or there was no heat or electricity!
