Extraordinary Ministers of Communion
Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion assist the Priest or Deacon to administer the Body and Blood of Christ to members of the Eucharistic assembly. In this ministry, fully initiated members of the Parish act as witnesses to Christ’s own loving service to his Body, the Church. Extraordinary ministers of Communion assist in uniting the members of our Parish in the Body and Blood of Christ.
New Extraordinary Ministers of Communion are asked to participate in the Annual Diocesan workshop as well as a formation meeting in the Parish. Subsequently, they are mandated by the Bishop and scheduled for ministry by our parish coordinator. If interested in becoming an Extraordinary Minister of Communion, please contact the Parish Office.
Ministers of Communion to the Homebound
We rely on Ministers of Communion to bring the Eucharist to the sick and homebound members of our community. Through this ministry, those who are unable to join us for the Sunday Eucharist are united with us sacramentally. Some ministers bring Communion to the residents at Aberdeen Gardens (usually on Wednesdays) and others bring Communion to the homebound as this ministry is needed.
