Eucharistic Ministers: Because of the suspension of distribution of the Precious Blood, we are scheduling only 2 ministers per Mass. We need 4 total including priests and deacon. That

means that usually 1 person will have to step forward unless Deacon Jim is there, which I do not know at the time the schedule is made. 2 need to step forward for Father Regan. Thank You!
