Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are lay persons selected by the pastor upon prayerful consideration of the needs of the community and the qualifications of the individual. They are commissioned for service to a particular community for which they are graced with the opportunity to assist the Priest in sharing Christ’s Body and Blood with others. They recognize Christ in the faces of all who approach. They are privileged to proclaim each person as a member of the Mystical Body by saying the words “The Body of Christ” or “The Blood of Christ.” Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion profess the faith of the Church and ask for affirmation in the assembly’s “Amen.”
Preparation for the ministry includes:
•Formal instruction through the Diocesan Office of Liturgy (approximately 3 Hours)
•Parish instruction as to local customs and responsibilities (approximately 2 Hours)
