Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion minister the Body and Blood of Christ at our weekday and weekend Masses and assist in bringing Holy Communion to homebound of our parish. Before beginning in this ministry, interested persons meet for an interview with Father Beau and then must participate in a basic formation workshop conducted by the Archdiocesan Office of Worship, with a follow-up session here in the parish.
Upon completion of the training, the Archbishop then delegates them for a five-year term of service. Those who come forward for this ministry must be 18 years of age, have received the sacraments of initiation and, if married, be validly married in the Church. Those who minister Holy Communion must be faithful to Sunday Mass, have a true devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, usually manifested by participation in Mass occasionally on weekdays, and time committed to prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
