On Wednesday 30 October in the chapel of Saint Elias, Hera, Brothers Virgilio De Jesus Brites, Honorio Pereira Bobo Lobato, Ponciano Norberto De Deus and Nataçio De Jesus Maia received the Ministry of Acolyte during the celebration of the eucharist.
In the same Eucharist, Brothers Constantino Barreto Amaral, Moises Soares and Manuel Xavier Gonzaga received the Ministry of Lector.
Lectors proclaim the Word of God in liturgical assemblies, instruct adults and children in the faith and prepare them to receive the sacraments. Acolytes assist the priest during the celebration of the Eucharist, holding the Missal, preparing the altar and the vessels and cleaning them after Communion. They may also distribute Communion if necessary. For those preparing for Priesthood in the Church, receiving these ministries is another step on their journey to Ordination.
We congratulate these brothers on these steps in their formation for ministry and pray they have a positive experience of these ministries.
