Fr. Anthony is requesting your attendance at an EMHC training/review series that will take place over two Saturday mornings: September 21st from 9:30 - 11:30 am and October 8th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm in Room 4 of the St. Mary Parish Hall.
The review will include the viewing of several videos (not those that were previously distributed), discussion of our parish particulars and a general question and answer period.
'Thank you' to all for attending the first part of the EMHC refresher training session.
I hope you all found it spiritually uplifting to be reminded about the duties, reverence and responsibilities of the EMHC. We have seen the roles evolve over the years dependent on the various pastors and deacons who've graced our parish(es). It's comforting to know that more definitive standards have been developed and that, in most cases, we have been compliant.
The 2nd part of the session will include a few more videos as well as, discussions regarding the practical procedures that are specific to our parish. Fr. Anthony encourages you to notate and forward any questions, confusion or comments ahead of time to allow him to thoughtfully consider each and have his response when we meet again. If you're comfortable forwarding the questions, etc. to me, I'll coordinate, cull out duplicates and send to him.
For those who missed Day 1 or would like to re-watch the videos, they can be found here:
Many of you have asked for this opportunity to pin down particulars and ask your questions. I hope you'll be available to attend. Please let me know your availability.
