Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion - Evening of Reflection

Theme: "Woven With the Eucharist"
Thursday, December 9, 2010
6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

 

We are called to bring the Eucharist to others in Sacramental form.  We are also called to bring Christ to others by our presence.  In a real sense, we need to be “Woven With the Eucharist” in our daily lives, so that as we share the Real Presence of Jesus with others, we also share His presence in the way we interact with others. 

Our Catholic Tradition maintains the Eucharist is the “Source and Summit of our  lives.  As people entrusted to bring the Lord to others, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are called to a specific way of life and mission so they may become people of the Eucharist.

Exploring an overview of St. Teresa of Avila’s, Interior Castle, we will see how the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist moves us inwardly and then outwardly towards others to whom we are called to serve in daily life. Please plan to join fellow Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion on Thursday, December 9, 2010.  Cost for the evening, including dinner is $25.00 per person. Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. Please call the retreat house for a brochure and/or to register at: 330-896-2315 or 800-827-1416.Co-Sponsored by Office of Pastoral Liturgy, Diocese of Cleveland and Loyola Retreat House, Inc.
