The Archdiocese of Louisville’s Office of Worship will be offering two ministry sessions at the Catholic Enrichment Center in August and September. These sessions are open to all involved in these ministries as well as Worship Committee members, clergy and anyone who may be interested in learning more about liturgical ministry.

On Tuesday August 27, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. there will be a session on the Role of the Sacristan. This session will explore the Role of the Sacristan and the many ways this ministry can be expressed in a parish. We will look at the background and development of the ministry of Sacristan in addition to some practical aspects of the role.

On Monday September 23, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. there will be a session on the Role of the Lector. This session will explore the Role of the Lector, the Role scripture plays in the celebration of the Liturgy, the
presence of Christ in the proclamation, and practical tips for preparation.

Both sessions will be held at the Catholic Enrichment Center, 3146 W. Broadway, Louisville, KY  40211

There is no charge for these sessions as they are funded by your support of the Catholic Services Appeal.

Invitations to the next Meet and Greet on July 11th are going out to parishioners who have joined St. Francis Xavier since May 1st. If you registered with SFX before that date but weren’t able to make a previous session, or just still feel like a “new” member, join us on Thursday, July 11th at 7PM in the Lower Parish Hall. There will be light refreshments served while we spend time getting to know one another and learning about all that the SFX community has to offer.

Please RSVP by email (wende.aubrey@sfxmw.com) or phone (502-385-6716) so we can plan accordingly.
