The Prosfora Ministry is a sacred and humbling service in which we prepare the bread that will become the Body of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. This ancient tradition allows us to offer our hands and hearts in devotion, providing the very bread that unites us with Christ and one another through Holy Communion.

As we knead the dough, we offer a prayer of humility and love:

“Please Lord, help me to focus on You and what You have offered to me and all of humanity through this bread which will become Your Body. Please Lord God, receive this bread from these unworthy hands which struggle to do any good thing on this earth. Please Lord, cover my sins as I am making this bread which will become Your sinless Body. Please Lord Jesus, help me to knead in my love for You and that of my family, as we ever more deeply realize our great and endless need for You.”

By participating in this ministry, we not only provide for the liturgical needs of the Church but also deepen our own spiritual journey. If you feel called to join this beautiful and meaningful offering, we welcome you to be part of the Prosfora Ministry.
