The virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means "God is with us."   Matthew I:23

 

Dear Minister,

Thank you to all who have volunteered to serve at the Christmas liturgies.  The schedule will hopefully be sent out this week and posted in the work sacristy this weekend.  We still need ministers at some of the Masses. Please feel free to "fill in the blanks".  For those who are serving, we will send out further information as we get closer to Christmas.

We will be sending out a separate email for requests to serve on January 1st at the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.

Ministers will continue to process in (but not out) through the Baptism of the Lord on January 10th, which is the conclusion of the Christmas season.  Although we will not process after that, all ministers are invited to the gathering space five minutes before Mass to join in prayer.  Lectors, please remember that responses will be sung beginning January 16th until Lent.

As a reminder, if you cannot make it to Mass at the last minute due to illness, car trouble or inclement weather please call the ministry mailbox.  617-527-7560 X 270.  Someone will check those messages before each Mass.

Please remember to enter your February unavailable dates by January 1st. After that date, the ministry scheduling system will not be accessible for entering preferences until the February schedule is completed.

Merry Christmas!  God bless each one of you and your families!
