St. Eustachius Parish, Portageville, MO. December 15th, 2019. Third Sunday of Advent Thank you to all who have volunteered to help with a mass ministry! We still need a few more in every ministry, especially for Saturday evening mass, so please consider signing up for a ministry if you haven't already. We will be having training meetings for each ministry during the month of January as a refresher for those who have been doing them, and training those who are just starting.

Ministry Highlight:

Greeter: the “face” of our parish to any visitors. If you feel called to bring the welcoming presence of Christ to others, this ministry is the one for you.

Usher: collecting the gifts of the community, as well as handing out the bulletin after mass are wonderful gifts of service to both our parish community as well as Our Lord. A ministry of hospitality with roots going back to the early church.

Offertory: a family ministry. Young or old, a large family or just a couple, it is a great honor to present the gifts of the community to the altar of God. Training Schedule for Mass Ministries Sunday, January 5th at 4:00 p.m. Eucharistic Minister Sunday, January 12th at 4:00 p.m. Greeter, Usher, and Offertory Sunday, January 19th at 4:00 p.m. Lector Sunday, January 26 at 4:00 pm Sacristan
