St. Margaret’s is grateful to all who volunteer their service and participate in the Mass as Lector or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (EMHC). These ministries were established as part of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. They make it possible for laypersons to participate in the Mass in an important way and witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

St. Margaret’s is always in need of people to come forward  and volunteer for these ministries. Any faithful Catholic who has received the Sacrament of Confirmation may become a Lector or EMHC. Anyone interested should contact Dick Donovan at
978-670-2660.

The links below provide access to web pages with important information for those who participate in these ministries.
