Plate Holders

Thank you for your commitment to the ministry. Plate holders should sign in at the sacristy at 5:45 p.m.  If you are unable to be a plate holder on the day you are scheduled, please find a replacement and let our staff know as soon as possible by contacting David Fremo at ext. 5062 or another member of the liturgy staff at ext. 5603.

Before the Eucharist:

  • Sign-in on the ministry form in the gathering place by 5:45 p.m.
  • Sit on the side where you are going to serve. It is recommended that the plate holder sits in the first few pews

During the Eucharist:

  • Walk toward the bread distributor you have been assigned to immediately after the assembly says “Lord I am not worthy to receive you…”
  • Hold the plate on the left side of the bread distributor
  • Be attentive and hold the plate close to the bread distributor to prevent crumbs from going onto the floor
  • Pick up crumbs if you notice that some dropped on the floor during the distribution of the Body of Christ
  • After all communicants have received communion, hold the plate while the Eucharistic Minister tears off a piece of bread for you, hand it back to them, and then receive the communion and take your seat
