Parishioners from the parishes in the family of parishes around Clonakilty have attended a joint formation evening for Ministers of the Eucharist.
It follows a recent invitation in the parishes for people to volunteer to serve as Ministers of the Eucharist in the parishes of Ardfield and Rathbarry, Clonakilty, Kilmeen and Timoleague.
The formation evening was presented by Lorraine Buckley, Faith Development Coordinator in the Office for Mission and MInistry of the diocese and it was held in the Parish Centre in Clonakilty.
The gathering of over 55 people included almost 30 new people who have committed to this ministry in their parishes and the event was also attended by many of the currently serving Ministers of the Eucharist.
It is planned that the new Ministers will be commissioned and begin their ministry in the family of parishes in the coming weeks.
