The Extraordinary Ministers of Communion serve the Eucharistic life of the community. They are acknowledged by the bishop at the request of the Pastor to assist the celebrant and other Ordinary Ministers during the liturgy in sharing the Eucharistic body and blood of Christ.
Extraordinary Ministers of Communion assist with serving the eucharistic at all of our Sunday masses and other celebrations of the Eucharist (such as funerals, weddings etc.) Ministers for our Sunday masses serve according to a schedule. Typically ministers serve two to four times in every two month period.
All Extraordinary Ministers of Communion must be fully initiated practicing Roman Catholics and must be approved by the parish priest. Previous experience is not necessary and training is provided.
If you are interested in assisting in this ministry, please call your parish office.
