This training is VERY important. We will go through:

• ● Your duties before AND AFTER Mass
• ● Where to kneel during the Eucharistic Prayer, etc.

Please RSVP so we know which training you will be attending (and how much pizza to order!) by calling the parish office (233-4780) or emailing [email protected]. A make-up session will be scheduled if necessary.
