Eucharistic Ministers are lay people that serve the Catholic Church by distributing Holy Communion during Mass. A Eucharistic Minister must be a fully initiated member of the Church (having received the Sacraments of Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation). We ask our Eucharistic Ministers to serve with reverence, commitment, and humility.
For further information, please contact the Rectory: (516) 786-1266 or via email: information@stwilliam.org.

O God, faithful rewarder of souls, grant that your departed servant Pope Francis, whom you made successor of Peter and shepherd of your Church, may happily enjoy for ever in your presence in heaven the mysteries of your grace and compassion, which he faithfully ministered on earth.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
