Three Saturday morning Eucharistic Visitor trainings are being offered in person this spring in partnership with the St. Paul Center for Theology and Prayer. 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:
- April 26, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at Grace Church in Medford
- May 3, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at St. David’s Church in South Yarmouth
- May 10, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Church of Our Redeemer in Lexington
