THE JOYJ INITIATIVE-Seeks EMs for The Riverside Premier Rehabilitation and Healing Center
The Lord said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” The JoyJ needs Eucharist Ministers to bring comfort and joy to those poor souls who anxiously look forward to receiving the body of Christ every week. If you’re not an EM and are interested, we will train you. One EM attends the 12:10 P.M. Mass on Wednesday and takes the hosts to The Riverside where several other EMs have gathered at 1:15 P.M. They divide the floors between them and it usually takes approximately 1 1/2 hours. If you are interested in serving and loving others in your daily life, please leave your contact information at the Rectory. Thank you and God bless you.
