In every celebration of the Eucharist there should be a sufficient number of ministers for Holy Communion so that it can be distributed in an orderly and reverent manner. To this end, "the priest may call upon extra ordinary ministers to assist him" (USCCB).  Extra ordinary ministers of Holy Communion will receive training in order to fulfill their role with knowledge and reverence.

This ministry is open to all high school-aged through adult members of the parish.  Extra Ordinary Minister training is required.
