8 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion ~ Catholic men & women sixteen years or older and are in good standing, which means they have received the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) and if Married have been Married in the Catholic Church, are eligible for this ministry. They are to live the Gospel message in accordance with the teachings of the Church and to participate regularly in the celebration of the Sunday Eucharist and practice their Catholic Faith. They are to be registered members of the parish in which they are commissioned. If you are interested in joining this ministry please contact Jeanne Benedict or JoAnn Radicella or fradicella@ec.rr.com Proclaimers of the Word (readers) Catholic men & women sixteen years or older and have received the Sacrament of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) and if Married have been Married in the Catholic Church, are eligible for this ministry. They should participate regularly in the celebration of the Sunday Eucharist and practice their Catholic Faith. A reader should also be a registered member of the parish. Our mission at the Mass is to proclaim the word of the Lord and act as a bridge between the Scriptures and the faithful. You are committing yourself to the preparation and discipline that enables Scripture to become the living word. If you are interested in joining this ministry please contact Frank Radicella or Frank at fradicella@c.rr.com. Prison Ministry Carteret Correctional Center During this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis s wishes to extend Christ s word and mercy (Plenary Indulgence) to all, even the incarcerated and shut-ins. And the Pope adds meaning to his letter and intentions on bringing Christ s mercy to all by washing the feet of the incarcerated on Holy Thursdays. This past December, Catholic Prison Ministry was re-started at the Carteret Correctional Center (CCC), Newport, NC after a lapse of several years. CCC is a North Carolina Minimum Security prison. The Catholic Services are conducted 6-7pm on Tuesday nights. The ministry is supported by Deacons and Volunteers from three parishes within the New Bern and Newton Grove Deaneries and includes reviewing of Catholic teaching (catechesis), review of scripture readings of the day or Sunday Mass; as well as, Confession and Mass/Communion or Communion Services. Volunteers are needed to enable the ministry to be consistently conducted on a weekly basis and assist those driving from extended distances to support the program. Some of these volunteers are supporting Prison Ministry at three prisons within 100 miles. Anyone interested in volunteering or inquiring about the Prison Ministry program at CCC is asked to call the parish office or contact Jim Strange. Who are the Men of St. Joseph? We, the Men of St. Joseph, are a group of Catholic men dedicated to becoming the spiritual leaders of our families by strengthening our faith and being real world examples of Christ. Our group bolsters discussion of faith and prayer life specifically for men, giving men new ways to reflect upon their lives and be better servants to God and their family. The result is nothing less than a revived culture, the same culture that Pope John Paul II called the Culture of Life. Our mission is To put the family in the hands of the Father. We believe it is time for men to step up and take a leadership role in guiding their families, friends, parishes and their communities towards Christ and the fullness of His Catholic Church. We welcome you to join us on this journey on Sunday nights. We meet at the Knights of Columbus House at 6:00pm and start with dinner. Please contact Jason Gordon or pardus108@hotmail.com for more information.

10 THE LAZARUS MINSTRY NEEDS HELP!! Funeral Reception TO: Set-up tables Sometimes prepare foods Placing table linens Preparing Coffee Picking up food if requested Serving the food Cleaning up after the reception As a rule volunteers would be notified one day prior to the event for assistance. Hopefully these events are few and far between and with enough volunteers not all would be requested to attend every event. PLEASE consider giving your time to a fellow parishioner in need. Contact: Therese Schwarz Ralph Williams rwilliams2@ec.rr.com Roberta Justice rjustice3@ec.rr.com Altar Flowers & Sanctuary Candle: We depend upon your gift of flowers each week to beautify our altar. If you would like to remember someone special through a gift of altar flowers or the sanctuary candle, please call the Parish Office. Tithe comes from the Anglo-Saxon word teotha meaning "a tenth." Tithing is considered by the diocese and the U.S. Bishops as contributing 10% of one s gross annual salary to others in proportions much like these: 5% to your parish + 1% to your diocese in the form of the BAA + 4% to other charities of their choice and interest.
