The Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion brings the comfort of Christ in the form of the Eucharist to those who cannot come to church. We bring the Church to people who cannot physically come to church. In this way, the sick and homebound are united to the Body of Christ present in our community. We continue the healing and compassionate ministry of Jesus, as members of His Body.
Any parishioner who is qualified to be an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion is eligible to serve in this ministry. Please prayerfully consider if you are being called to serve Jesus in serving those who cannot attend Mass in person. You will meet some very special people, and make some very special friends! If you would like to serve, please call the Parish Office at 910-425-1590, or send email to the Parish Office Manager, Maria Rosario, at [email protected]. Please join us. |

The Legion of Mary
In introduction, the Legion of Mary is not an organization for women only. It is a vocation available for all Catholics who want to foster a true to devotion to Mary as their path to heaven ~
To Jesus through Mary, as Pope St. John Paul II’s motto states, “Totus Tuus”, All Yours. St. Louis Marie du Montford wrote in his Treatise on True Devotion to Mary, “When we praise her, love her, honor her or give anything to her, it is God who is praised, God who is loved, God who is glorified, and it is to God that we give, through Mary and in Mary.”

Parish Evangelization
Would you like to help build the parish? Help the parish grow by inviting someone you know who has fallen away from the church to come to Mass with you one weekend.
Or invite someone new who is not Catholic. God is always calling new people to him and asking us to live out our baptismal call. What better time since we hear so much negative publicity about God and church? We might not be able to bring God and prayer back into school and our government, but we can bring people into the church.
