November Taizé Prayer Service
The Taizé Prayer service for November was moved back a week to November 18 since the usual fourth Thursday of the month was Thanksgiving Day. The altar, however, was ready for the holiday. Mark Blackburn and Damian Hochmuth provided the music for the service.
Mandating of Liturgical Ministers
Our Diocese has asked the liturgical ministers of the parishes to receive special training in their ministries in order to participate. Once they have completed the training, they are given a “mandate” or call to serve, and participate in a “mandating” ceremony at Mass. In the photo here, Susan Turner and Pat Spinelli are receiving their mandates: Susan as a Lector, and Pat as a Sacristan.
