Thursday,
June
23rd, 2011 saw the celebration of the Feast of Corpus Christi at
St Faith's
Corpus Christi, the Day of Thanksgiving for the Institution of Holy
Communionin the Anglican calendar, has in recent years also been the
occasion when the Eucharistic Ministers on our United Benefice (lay men and women who assist in the
distribution of the sacrament at the eucharist) are blessed and
rededicate themselves to their work. The service was also attended by
visting priests, as well as by some of those preparing for their
imminent ordination.
