Eucharistic ministers are bishops, priests, and deacons. However, other members of the faithful, known as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion may be commissioned to assist with the distribution of the Sacrament as needed. Extraordinary ministers distribute Holy Communion at Mass when there are insufficient ordained ministers capable of administering the Sacrament, to ensure a timely and reverent distribution of Communion.

Outside of Mass, some extraordinary ministers may assist priests and deacons in the distribution of Holy Communion to the sick and homebound.

Training is provided for parishioners who are interested in joining this ministry. Please contact coordinator Dolores Barreira through the church office at 332-8011.
