This is an invitation for growth in our discipleship with Jesus and continue his mission of ministry and service to others. Jesus serves and nourishes us through the Eucharist and therefore we are to imitate Him and walk in his footsteps serving and being a source of nourishment through our ministry as Eucharistic Ministers to the community.

 

The call to be a Eucharistic Minister is an urging from the Holy Spirit to plunge into new dimensions of relationship with Jesus and with the Christian community. Rev. Fr. Jean Marie Mvumbi, CICM, and Rev. Fr. Maury Smith, OFM will present the first two Sessions –

The Bread of Life and Bread of Covenant.  The Eucharist is the source and summit of the church. In the Eucharist, God feeds us with his word that is a Word of life. Through the Eucharistic elements, Jesus inaugurated a new covenant with the new Israel of God; people of every race and tongue. The Eucharist nourishes our spiritual life.
