Now that I think of it—another way to offer something is by mentioning them in the intentions or prayer of thanksgiving after communion.

Yes, in my home parish (which is the same one that Pam Zagar (my mother ” title=”Smile” /> ) attends, we had a prayer of thanksgiving after communion (kind of in the same respose format as the prayers of the faithful). I thought it was nice and they would often say a prayer of thanks for the choir or the guest celebrant.
