On Saturday, January 25th, more than 100 people gathered at St. Pius X for a beautiful morning dedicated to the Extraordinary Ministry of the Holy Eucharist throughout our Diocese. The morning Mass was celebrated by Fr. Ian and included the Installation of our two newest Order of Malta Eucharistic Ministers, Peter and Kelly Frank. Immediately following, Fr. Ian Blessed all the Extraordinary Ministers in attendance and a small gift of a laminated prayer card and KRP Chaplets were given to them.

Immediately following the Mass, coffee and a light breakfast were served before a a powerful meditation on the Eucharist by Fr Ian. One of the most beautiful parts of the reflection was the singing of Jim Cohen’s Song, “This is Jesus.” The words are powerful and we invite you to listen here: https://youtu.be/ymXizxnlT98.

A special heartfelt thank you to Fr. Ian for his spiritual leadership, Maureen Considine, our Hospitaller who coordinated this beautiful event, the Hospitality Team for all the delicious goodies, and Ray Dunn for coordinating the Eucharistic Ministry program for the CT Area of Malta as well as his great singing with his sister Patty!
