I do have one reservation which is that EM are commissioned by the Bishop and so although the renewal of their ministry can and should form part of a parish celebration it should also follow the form prescribed by the Diocesan Authority and it would appear, from the story posted, that the ritual was adapted for the integration of the other ministries. EMs and Readers are ministers within the official celebration of the Mass and are governed by liturgical laws but the tea makers and flower arrangers are not. So by all means have a Mass to celebrate the other ministries of the parish but do not neglect the official procedures for vetting, training and renewing EMs.
