The online signup for Fall Masses (September 9/10 – November 25/26) is now open! Please visit the Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors page on our website (sjspwellesley.org/liturgy/eucharistic-ministers-and-lectors) to sign up!
Anyone interested in learning more about serving as a Lector or Eucharistic Minister is encouraged to contact Kelly Meraw…
We are pleased to announce an exciting development in the way we organize the ministries of the Mass – a return to parish volunteers coordinating the schedules (the norm before the many disruptions caused by the pandemic!) Dorene Christie will be coordinating the schedule of Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors for St. John, and Anne Cremonini and Leah Cinelli will be scheduling for St. Paul. You will be getting an email from them shortly since September – and the new schedule – are just around the corner!
On behalf of you, the parishioners, we thank our new coordinators for their service and look forward to lots of active participation in our vibrant liturgies! Mary Campion (mary.campion@sjspwellesley.org) will continue to be the staff liaison so if you would like to be part of ministry at Mass, please contact Mary, Dorene, Anne or Leah…
Our current schedule for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (Mondays at 1:00pm at St. Paul Church and Fridays at 1:00pm at St. John Church) will continue through the month of June. Adoration at both churches will pause for the summer and resume in the fall.
There will be no Adoration at either church during the months of July and August.
Our final Adoration in June will take place Monday, June 27 at 1:00pm at St. Paul Church.
Begins Friday, March 18 after the 9:00am Mass
Concludes Saturday, March 19 at 9:30am
Please come at any time and stay for any length of time! Bring a friend! All are invited to this experience of God’s love and mercy!
If you are able to commit to a 2-hour period of time to be present for Adoration, please click the link below to sign up online…
Just a reminder that this Sunday, February 6 is the first Sunday of the month, and that means that the 9:00am Family Mass and the 5:00pm Youth Mass will be celebrated at St. John Church.
Yes, we were at St. John last Sunday too, but that’s because January had three Sundays and we’re at St. John on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays of the month.
And yes, it’s a little confusing, but luckily it doesn’t happen too often!
The Sunday 7:30am Mass will be celebrated at St. Paul Church beginning this Sunday, January 2.
This schedule will remain in effect until the Summer Schedule (TBD) begins Memorial Day weekend.
Sister Evelyn Ronan, SND will be hosting a retreat and training for new and existing Eucharistic Ministers and Lectors in the Collaborative.
Whether you are feeling called to serve for the first time, or you’d like to renew your energy for the ministry and sharpen your skills, you’ll want to attend!
The need for liturgical ministers has never been more acute. Please consider offering your presence to God in one of these two ministries. ALL ARE WELCOME!
Eucharistic Ministers: Wednesday, November 3 from 7:00-8:30pm
Lectors: Wednesday, November 10 from 7:00-8:30pm
Both retreats will be held in the St. John the Evangelist Sanctuary. Please RSVP to: mary.campion@sjspwellesley.org
Do you feel a desire to be trained as a Eucharistic Minister?
Do you feel a prompting to proclaim the Word of God as a Lector at Mass?
Are you called to comfort the grieving by serving at the Altar for funeral Masses?
Do you want to steward financial offerings by gathering the collection?
Have you been waiting for a specific call to serve?
THIS IS THAT CALL!
Regardless of whether you’ve been worshiping at home or back in the pews, you must be feeling it!? Thanks to the formidable work of scientists and health care workers (not to mention our own vigilance) we are seeing parish life return in a more recognizable way.
We are in need of help in every area in order to accommodate our growing congregation. No long-term commitment required – sign up to help at a single Mass or several as your schedule allows…
