Thank you for being an important participant in the miracle about to happen at Sunday Mass – Transubstantiation! Your signing up for the Communion Offertory Procession symbolizes the gifts we, as God’s people are bringing to Him. You are carrying our community gifts of bread and wine up the aisle so God can transform them and feed His people with the Body and Blood of Christ.
Please click on any available Mass(es) below to participate. On the day(s) of your Mass, kindly arrive 10 minutes early. Before Mass, look for the small“ Offertory Table” inside the church on the left, by the partial stained-glass doors. During Mass, after the Homily and the Creed, your signal to walk toward the “Offertory Table” , is when the Lector begins reading the Prayers of the Faithful. You will pick up the bread and wine. Then the Altar Server carrying the cross will lead you up the aisle. Once you’ve given the gifts to the priest, bow respectfully, and then return to your seat. God bless you for representing God’s people!
