Whether for weekend Masses or homebound/hospital/nursing home ministry, you have committed yourself to knowing the rules pertaining to your ministry.  You have also committed yourself to fulfilling your ministry in the times assigned to you.  The leaders of your faith community establish schedules and count on you to be adequately prepared and present to assist with the reception of Holy Communion.  Know when you are scheduled.  Mark it on your calendar as an important commitment.

Occasionally, circumstances change and you will be unable to prepare and be present for your assignment.  St. Jude’s community invites you to find a substitute or make a trade in the schedule for the time you will be absent.  This can be accomplished by using the Ministry Scheduler Pro program (MSP) - please refer to the Ministry Scheduler Pro web guide for instructions.  Check the Liturgical Assignments for your monthly assignments.
