Comments Off on Catholic Volunteers Needed

We have a women’s minimum security prison nearby that needs Catholic volunteers. The Next Door is a work-release program for women in their last two years of incarceration, housed at Moccasin Bend on the Northshore, thenextdoor.org. Currently, there are two Catholic women in residence, and we are looking for a pool of volunteers to offer occasional communion services at the facility. The days, times, and frequency could be arranged at our convenience. Contact Susan Brace, with questions or for more information, at susan.r.brace@gmail.com or 423-681-8284. https://thenextdoor.org/programs-services/re-entry-services/

Therefore, it is not necessary to receive the cup containing the Precious Blood. However, for those of you who want to drink from the cup, you will now have that option again.
