Hundreds Are Being
For New Eucharistic
BY GRETCHEN KEISER
Several hundred lay peo
ple have been newly train
ed to serve as Eucharistic
ministers at the Mass,
since, beginning this Sun
day, Communion will nor
mally be offered under the
form of both bread and
wine at weekend Masses
throughout the arch
diocese.
Father John Walsh, who
is responsible for coor
dinating the training of
Eucharistic ministers in
the archdiocese, found over
300 people gathered for a
Saturday training work
shop at the Cathedral of
Christ the King in Atlanta,
May 25. This was four to
five times the number who
have come to the quarterly
workshops in the past.
Over 100 came from St.
John the Evangelist parish
in Hapeville, alone. Others
were from Corpus Christi
in Stone Mountain, St. Pius
X in Conyers, Holy Cross in
Atlanta, Sts. Peter and
Paul in Decatur, and St.
Clement’s in Calhoun,
among others, Father
Walsh said.
The archdiocesan deci
sion to offer Communion
regularly under both forms
at Sunday Mass will be
drawing hundreds of lay
people into this integral
form of service every
weekend. For example,
Father Walsh, who is an
assistant pastor at St.
Jude’s parish in Sandy
Springs, estimated that St.
Jude’s alone would be ask
ing 80 to 90 Eucharistic
ministers to serve every
weekend, covering eight
Masses.
The guidelines suggest
that for every minister of
the plate, there be two
ministers of the cup.
“We have 100 plus
(Eucharistic ministers) at
St. Jude’s now,” said
Father Walsh. “We pro
bably will need double that
amount.” Since the institu-
Prepared
Ministry
tion of Communion under
both species takes place on
Corpus Christi Sunday,
June 9, it is also at the time
when people begin to leave
parishes for summer vaca
tion. So extra people will be
needed to fill in.
There appears to be real
enthusiasm among those
who are beginning to serve
as Eucharistic ministers.
