There are about 40 Ministers of the Eucharist in this parish. Their duties are threefold in nature. First, they take Holy Communion to the sick and to the housebound. This covers both those in their own homes and those in residential and nursing homes. Secondly, they assist in the distribution of Holy Communion at all Masses in church. Thirdly, they may be called upon to lead the Eucharistic Service in the rare event that a priest is unavailable to celebrate Mass during the week.
For more information please contact Dr. John Gibbings.

The team of readers include a number of volunteers to read at all week-end masses on a rota basis. This is not an onerous task as it only comes round every two months or so. Anyone willing to help would be more than welcome.
