Dear Partners in Ministry,
A few weeks ago, I wished everyone a happy St. Gregory's Day— and yesterday marked the feast day of another patron saint of music, St. Hildegard von Bingen— but I thought all of you should know whether there's a patron saint for your liturgical ministry. As it turns out...
Altar Servers: St. John Berchmans (November 26)
Eucharistic Ministers: St. Paschal Baylon (May 17)
Lectors: St. Bede the Venerable (May 25)
Liturgy in general: St. Joseph Mary Tommasi (January 1)
So, if you're ever in need of a little heavenly backup in your ministries, remember you have friends in high places.
Peace be with you,
Tony
