Charles “Chuck” Shores of Newnan was installed Jan. 26 as a licensed liturgical minister in the Diocese of the Mid-South at services at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Sharpsburg.

The licensed liturgical ministers who are assigned to Christ the King serve in various ways. They may serve as chalice bearers and lay readers during services, assist in the distribution of Holy Communion to the children and workers in the nursery, and bring Communion to those who could not be present at the Sunday morning services due to illness or infirmity.

All licensed liturgical ministers are trained and licensed by the Diocese of the Mid-South.

LLMs are trained by Archdeacon Dan Hale of Peachtree City.
