Overview

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are lay members of the parish who are entrusted with the sacred responsibility of assisting in the distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ during Mass. Their service supports the priest and helps ensure that the Eucharistic celebration is conducted with reverence, dignity, and care.

Ministers are typically scheduled to serve at one or two Masses each month. Training is provided and includes reading ministry guidelines and shadowing experienced ministers during Mass to gain confidence and understanding.
