SOUTHWEST RANCHES | Thirty seniors, representing 12 parishes throughout Dade and Broward counties, were honored this month for their service as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion during all-school Masses throughout the year at Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy High School.
Each student was presented with a crucifix - to be hung on their college dorm wall - during the recognition dinner held at Anthony’s Runway 84 Restaurant.
“As Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion our students have celebrated and distributed the living Christ to other Catholics during our all-school Masses. They have also shared their faith through their actions, with students of all faiths, throughout the school year,” said Chris Covone, director of Campus Ministry at Archbishop McCarthy.
In addition to Covone, the students were joined at the dinner by their parents, Archbishop McCarthy’s Supervising Principal Father Brendan Dalton, School Chaplain Father Jean Jadotte, Principal Richard P. Jean.
“As a faith-based school we impart to our students the importance of taking their education beyond the walls of our school, sharing their faith through continued service to the community. We hope the crucifix will serve as a visual reminder to keep the faith alive in their daily lives as college students,” said Jean.
