Four opportunities for Eucharistic Visitor Trainings are being offered in person this fall. Eucharistic visitors extend the altar to include those who are homebound or in the hospital. This important pastoral and liturgical ministry is offered by adult lay members of the congregation who are certified by the diocese. In order to be certified, eucharistic visitors must complete Safe Church training, be nominated by their priest, and attend a diocesan-approved training. One training is scheduled in each region of the diocese:
- Tuesday, Oct. 21, 6:30-9 pm at Our Redeemer, Lexington (space limited to 7 people)
- Saturday, Nov. 1, 9 am-noon at St. Mary's, Barnstable
- Tuesday, Nov. 18, 6:30-9 pm at Our Redeemer, Lexington (space limited to 7 people)
- Training in Spanish: Sunday, Nov. 23, 2-4:30 pm at St. Anne's, Lowell (snacks included)
