Testimonies
- "As a Extraordinary Minister I often question -- am I worthy to visit and distribute the Holy Eucharist -- It's a real honor, a good feeling. They look forward to seeing us." BF
- "When I visit Catholics at the Hospital - - going into the Extensive Care Unit wondering if they will make it through - scary feeling - yet fulfilling." MH
- "To touch someone's life spiritually, it is the most rewarding thing I've ever done." KJ
- "I'm so glad the Prayer Partner Project is continuing. My "people" have always enjoyed the cards from the children as well as any other items given out at Mass such as prayer cards, calendars of events, daily bible readings for the liturgical seasons, etc. along with the weekly bulletin. It's like a tangible link with the Church and it means a lot to them. In addition, most of them have the time and read all the material from cover to cover!!"
