Holy Eucharist
The Eucharist is the center of our faith—the “source and summit” of what we believe and practice as Catholics.
Guidelines for the reception of Holy Communion
For parents wishing for their child(ren) to receive First Communion, please contact the Office of Religious Education for information. Preparation for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion is a preparatory period of two years that traditionally takes place in First and Second grades. Students outside of the recommended timeline may enroll in the Missing Sacraments Program. Enrollment for Religious Education takes place from May-August. Adults should contact the Parish Office for specific details and explore the RCIA program.

WHAT IS EUCHARISTIC ADORATION?
Eucharistic Adoration is the adoration of Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist is displayed in a special holder called a monstrance, and people come to pray and worship Jesus continually throughout the day and often the night.
Our mission is to bring a bit of God’s green creation inside the church, to remind ourselves and the parish of the beauty of His wonderful gifts. Surrounding our tabernacle and sanctuary with graceful plants/flowers adds visual splendor to our holiest place and spotlights our faith in the Real Presence.
We welcome both men and women with plant skills, since we regularly receive help from husbands and other male volunteers as needed.

The Ministry of Lector is a layperson’s special privilege of proclaiming the “Word of God” both Daily and during the Weekend Masses. During the Mass, the Lector normally proclaims the Word by reading from the Lectionary. The first reading is traditionally from the Old Testament or one of Saint Paul’s Epistles; the second reading is usually from the New Testament. Additionally, the Lector will generally read the Prayer of the Faithful or the Intercessions if a Deacon is not present.

The Usher’s Ministry at St. Timothy’s Church helps welcome and ensure the comfort and safety of parishioners at Holy Mass. We are often the first face incoming Mass attendees see when arriving at Church. While Ushers have a number of specific pre- and during-Mass duties, we attempt to enthusiastically and warmly greet and assist parishioners and strive to provide an excellent, safe, and comfortable setting for everyone prior to and during the celebration of Mass.
