Ministers of the Word We hope to change the way in which rosters for Ministers of the Word are compiled. The proposed plan is outlined in a letter to all Ministers. This letter is available in the Parish Office so we would be grateful if Ministers would pop in and pick up one. There will be a meeting for all Ministers of the Word on Monday 17th Sept at 8.00pm in St Columbanus Hall to present the plan and the draft roster. To our Ministers of the Word a big thank you for all you do to enhance our celebration of the Eucharist at the weekday Masses and at the weekends.
