Have you considered or have you been asked to become an Extraordinary Ministry of Holy Communion? EMHCs assist the clergy in distributing the Holy Eucharist during Mass, taking the Eucharist to the homebound and those in the hospital. We are looking for more people to assist in this important ministry – especially with Holy Communion to those in the hospital at UPMC and York hospitals, and to the homebound of our parish. If you are a Catholic in good standing, at least a senior in high school, known for a good Catholic manor of living and for service to the parish and community, there is a training taking place here at St. Patrick on October 8. If you are interested, please contact Father Bateman or Deacon Michael to complete the Diocesan application process. Deadline to apply is October 1.
