Cut the coupon out and give it to the person you will help. In 1972 Pope Paul VI revised several ministries and minor clerical orders. One ministry that was preserved was the ministry of the instituted acolyte. While the term acolyte is at times used when referring to young men and women who assist at the altar (altar servers), the ministry of acolyte is a permanent institution. Because the ministry has its roots in the formation of ordained clergy, the ministry is reserved to men. The instituted acolyte is appointed to assist the deacon and serve the priest in the celebration of the liturgy. He is an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion serving only when sufficient ordinary ministers are not available. Men must be at least 21 years of age, fully initiated and living an exemplary Christian way of life, with no impediments to sacramental reception, (e.g. if married, one must be in valid marital union recognized by the Church). For more information please contact Deacon Ray in the parish office. There will be a special blessing given to all expecting mothers at all Masses on the weekend of October 24th and 25th. VETERANS APPRECIATION DINNER SIGN-UP Stop by the Narthex after all Masses on the weekend of October 24th-25th to register yourself and a guest. The dinner will be on Sunday, November 15th at 3:00pm. Remember,,,Daylight Savings Time will end on Sunday, November 1st

Un ministerio que se conservó fue el ministerio del acólito instituido. Mientras que el término acólito es a veces usado para referirse a los hombres y mujeres jóvenes que ayudan en el altar (monaguillos), el ministerio de acólito es una institución permanente. Debido a que el ministerio tiene sus raíces en la formación de clero ordenado, el ministerio está reservado a los hombres. El acólito instituido es designado para ayudar al diácono y servir al sacerdote en la celebración de la liturgia. Él es un Ministro Extraordinario de la Sagrada Comunión sirviendo sólo cuando suficientes ministros ordinarios no están disponibles. Los hombres deben tener por lo menos la edad de 21 años, totalmente entregados y estar viviendo la vida Cristiana de una manera ejemplar sin nada que los impida, por ejemplo (si es casado, tiene que estar casado por la Iglesia Católica).
