Newly Mandated Ministers of Care Congratulations to Lusia Crouchelli and Debbie Waitekus who, after participating in a two-day seminar at St. Symphorosa Parish, have met the Archdiocese of Chicago Office of Divine Worship requirements and have received certificates to be eligible Ministers of Care for our Parish. This means that they may, only after receiving explicit delegation from the Pastor, regularly assist with the distribution of the Holy Eucharist to the sick and homebound members of our Parish. The certificate allows them to serve in this ministry throughout the duration of the Liturgical Cycle A (Nov. of 2016). We thank you for your service to the Church and to our Parish.
