Our THANKS go out to Betty Schuermann for the years she supported the Eucharistic Ministry at the 8:30 a.m. Sunday Liturgy.  Due to personal reasons, Betty has decided to discontinue her participation at this time.

Please remember in your prayers:

• Tom Schuermann (8:30 a.m. Mass) – Tom will be having replacement knee surgery the end of the month.  Until further notice, he will be taking a Leave of Absence from the Eucharistic Ministry. 
• Bill Herring’s Family (8:00 a.m. Mass)  Bill’s Father passed away and was buried from Nativity Church June 18.  Our thoughts & prayers are with the Herring Family.

Is it your week to purify the Cups & Dishes?   If so….

ALL Cups AND Dishes should be rinsed with water so that any remaining residue/particles of the consecrated wine and bread is removed from the vessels.  The water should be poured down the Sacrarium (small round sink) in the sacristy.  This sink drains directly into the ground, thus avoiding the pipe/sewage systems. 

After this is done, the cups and plates are washed with soap and warm water in the work area.  The soap is underneath the sink.  The towels for drying are in the top first cupboard to the left of the doorway in the work area.

The plates are placed in the cupboard above the sink and the cups are left out on the tray for Gene.  Father’s chalice and dish from hosts are placed in the large center cupboard in the sacristy.  The decanter is placed in the top right-hand cupboard.  The bowl and pitcher used for the “washing of hands” are cleaned and left on the top of the sink.

FYI:  We now have a supply of dishcloths for washing the vessels used for the Eucharist.  The cloths are stored in the cabinet behind the door along with the towels.
