Extraordinary Minister(s) of Holy Communion

The Liturgy of the Eucharist is the very Heart of The Mass

Jesus said to His disciples: “Take this bread and eat it: this is my body…

  Drink this cup… for this is my blood of the covenant…” Matthew 26: 26-28

  Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are called by God to become servants to other members of the Body of Christ.  The Primary function of an Extraordinary Minster is to assist the priest in distributing the true presence of Christ to other members during the sacrifice of the Mass. A secondary function is to take the Eucharist to the sick & homebound. 

3 types of Extraordinary Ministers:

·         Scheduled Ministers agree to serve one weekend Mass/ month at a specifically designated Mass  (E.g. 9:00 AM Mass on the 3rd week).

·         Substitute Ministers sign up for a specific Mass and agree that if asked, they will try to serve at that Mass (e.g. 11:00 AM).

·         Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the Sick takes Eucharist to the homebound, nursing home and assisted living residents.

·         Serve their scheduled Mass or find a substitute from the sub. list.

·         Be punctual when scheduled to serve.

·         Dress appropriately on scheduled week: Men- Jacket/suit & tie, Women- Dress/skirt or nice pantsuit.

Pope John Paul II said:

“The Eucharist is the outstanding moment

 of encounter with the Living Christ.”
