Page 7 November 18, 2018 K of C Corner Liturgical Ministries The Knights of Columbus was founded to protect Catholic widows and children in 1882. Today it still does that and it does a whole lot more. Examples in OLMC are easy to find, if you know where to look, like OLMC School s Auction fund raiser, Teacher Excellence Fund, Tuition Assistance and school repairs. You can also see the Knight s support at work in the OLMC Food Pantry, supporting the Capital Campaign Pledge, Weekly Bulletin underwriting and financially supporting youth activities such as the Steubenville Conference and OLMC s BSA Pack 242. The Knight s and their families are involved in almost every aspect of the OLMC s parish life and have been for over 50 years. It's been reported by the major news organizations and other mass media outlets that the newer generations do not join fraternal organizations like the older generations did. This may or may not be true, but a lot of the Knights feel like their Councils are actually another vital ministry within their Parishes. Visit kofc5480.org, kofc.org or kofc.org/joinus to learn more Linen Ministry Help Needed These ministers clean and press the altar linens and purificators used each week in our liturgies. This is an invisible, yet essential, ministry. The cloths used at the altar in the Eucharistic celebration are to be treated with the care and respect due to those items being used in the preparation and celebration of the sacred mysteries. Accordingly, guidelines are provided for their cleaning. This ministry is time-flexible and is performed at home; ideally this would be on a 6-8 week rotation. Please contact Julie Hill at jhill@olmc-school.com. Sacristans Needed Sacristans work behind the scenes. They prepare the worship spaces for the celebration of the sacraments each week by polishing, light cleaning, and watering plants. Sacristans can expect to work for 1-2 hours, every four to six weeks. They are usually able to work on a day that fits their schedule, daytime or evening, on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Training is scheduled on an individual basis. Please contact Julie Hill at jhill@olmc-school.com. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School The Purple Star Designation is Awarded to OLMC School!
