Temporary Online EIM Training- The EIM Office has developed a temporary online training to fulfill the compliance requirement for those who are past due, due or will be due
in the next couple of months to attend an EIM Workshop. This training includes a frank
discussion of sexual abuse; if you have experienced sexual abuse and have concerns
about viewing this training, please contact Emily Hurlimann at (512) 949-2447 to discuss
alternative training. Anyone may view the abuse prevention videos and information used
for this temporary online training; however, to receive EIM workshop attendance credit for
participating in this temporary online training, each participant must already have an EIM
account. NOTE 1: This program is for persons who have attended a previous EIM Workshop and now need to attend a training to maintain compliance. Participants in this online program who have never attended an EIM Workshop will be required to attend an EIM Workshop within the year depending on when we are able to begin holding workshops again. NOTE 2: If you have difficulty opening a link or viewing a video, please change browsers. Everything has been tested on Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.To begin: Login to your EIM account at eappsdb.com/austin (if you do not recall your User ID/ password, click Forgot User ID or Password? at bottom of the login page to retrieve your User ID and password. Check your spam/junk folder if you don’t receive the email.) If you need help or if you need to know when you will be due please call St. Mary’s EIM Administrator Helen Juarez at the parish office  Wednesday’s or Fridays. 9 am-12 or 1-5 PM.The list of names of volunteers who are past due or will be due are posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the church.
Homebound Eucharistic Minister
If one of our loved one becomes disabled, too ill or elderly and cannot attend Mass, we
would expect them to be able to receive the Precious Body of Christ at home or at a nursing home, right? Butwhat if there is not enough Homebound Eucharistic Ministers to deliver to all of those on the list each and every Sunday, what then? The answer is heart-breaking, many may go without communion for weeks at a time and sadly this is the reality here in your parish, happening to many of our brothers and sisters in Christ. So what can I do? I can say I can make a difference, I can say I can make a change, I can give up an hour or so once or twice a month or every Sunday morning, I can say yes to the knocking on my door
and answer our plea and become a home bound Eucharistic Minister. To say yes, please call the office Tues-Fri. 9 am-12 and 1-5 PM or speak to Fr. Ed or one of our
deacons before or after Mass.
