Fr. Ben has a funny habit of picking people to bring up the gifts as he walks up the aisle during the procession. To avoid the unexpected, please consider bringing up the gifts at Mass!
Here's a Quick How-to:
Pickup the new crucifix on the gifts table before Mass starts (the gifts table is behind the last pew on the left side).
Take the crucifix to your pew with you (this signals that the gifts will be taken care of by someone).
When we sit down to sing the offertory hymn, take the cross back to the gifts table, and wait until you see Fr. Ben & the servers walk to the front of the altar (after the collection is finished).
When Fr. Ben & the servers walk to the front of the altar, process up the aisle, hand them the gifts, bow, and then return to your pew. Easy peasy.
This is a wonderful way to serve the Mass as a family!
