As I mentioned last weekend, our parish is in need of Eucharistic Ministers, Ushers, and traffic helpers for our Christmas Mass schedule. This need is precipitated by the restrictions set forth by the State of Connecticut in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our Christmas Mass schedule is as follows: on December 24th, Christmas Eve we have a 2 p.m., 4 p.m. (both Children Masses) and a 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. evening Masses; on December 25th, Christmas Day our Mass is offered at 10 a.m.

For the Masses we will need 5 Eucharistic Ministers, (between the ages of 18 and 60) four of whom will be (2 each) in Russell Hall and the church proper, and two will distribute at the Atrium doors heading outside. As for Ushers, we will need two (2) each at all the Masses, the role of the usher is to greet and help seat the attendees in the locations (church and Russell) for which they have registered.

For each Mass we will need two Traffic Flow people to help with the parking exit from the Church. Those attending Mass in the parking lot (for overcrowding or for fear of gathering in the church itself) we will require the need of two people to assist with easy exiting from the church parking lots at the end of each Mass.

Training will be provided for Eucharistic Ministers, Ushers and traffic flow coordinators. If you are between the ages of 18-60 and are in good health and are willing to assist us for our Christmas Masses, please call Lisa Cerchia in the parish office at 860 658 1642 or email her at stcathy@comcast.net.

Thank you very kindly.
