March 22: Lenten Evening of Reflection for Eucharistic Ministers

For those serving as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion – whether in a parish or bringing Communion to the sick and homebound – the diocesan Office of Pastoral Life and Mission is sponsoring the following special event:

Lenten Evening of Reflection

March 22, 2023
7pm-9pm

St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral
61 Georgia Road
Freehold, NJ

Extraordinary Ministers are invited to gather for an evening of reflection themed “Biblical Images of the Eucharist,” led by Msgr. Sam Siranni, Co-cathedral rector, and Jennifer Elsensohn, pastoral associate. The evening will be an opportunity for participants to deepen their spirituality by reflecting on images in Scripture that lead one to Christ present in the Eucharist.
