Carolann Bordiere

Being a Eucharistic minister is important to me because it allows me to connect with people in the parish on a more spiritual level, especially when I am serving at mass. I have grown a lot in my faith since beginning college and serving as a young adult Eucharistic minister helps send the message to teens in the parish that it is possible to both practice and grow in their faith even away while they are away at school.

Being a Eucharistic minister is important to her because she feels very blessed and wishes to contribute back to the community that supports her back home. Serving in mass gives her time to reflect and feel thankful for the full life she has as well as feeling closer to her faith at her secular college.
