Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion distribute Holy Communion to the assembled. Ordinary ministers are priests and deacons. Therefore lay ministers are called extraordinary. Reverence for the trust placed in you by the Church for this ministry is essential with mindfulness of time so the mass will not be unnecessarily long.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion must have received the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist, be 16 years of age, and a registered member of OLM or OLF parish. They must be living a Catholic Christian life and with good standing on the Church.

You will be scheduled at a Mass time of your preference and occasionally asked to volunteer to serve at special times of the year such at Holy Week and Christmas.

Initial training is a two-hour session.  And will be scheduled on an as-needed basis.
