Spiritual enrichment events for extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion
January 24, 2023 at 11:12 p.m.
The first of the upcoming events is a morning of reflection scheduled for Feb. 11 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in St. Benedict Parish, 165 Bethany Rd., Holmdel.
With the theme, “Reveal the Healing Love of Jesus to Those in Need,” the morning will include a Mass celebrated by Father Garry Koch, St. Benedict pastor. Father Koch will preach on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, which the Universal Church celebrates that day. After receiving Communion, participants will have time of reflection before the Blessed Sacrament. The remainder of the morning will include light refreshments and a break-out session for stories and sharing.
The second event is a Lenten evening of recollection planned for March 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. in St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral, 61 Georgia Rd., Freehold.
Observing the theme, “Biblical Images of the Eucharist,” the evening will be led by Msgr. Sam Sirianni, Co-Cathedral rector and will offer an opportunity to deepen participants’ spirituality by reflecting on some of the images found in holy Scripture and how they can lead the faithful to Christ present in the Eucharist.
Participants are encouraged to select any or all of the opportunities that best fit their schedule. Registration is available at dioceseoftrenton.org/EMreflection. Or by contacting Terry Ginther, diocesan chancellor and executive director of the Office of Pastoral Life and Mission, at 609-403-7143 or [email protected].
