In extraordinary circumstances, the Presider at Holy Mass may call upon members of the laity to assist in the administration of Holy Communion. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are those lay ecclesial ministers who have received training to serve at Holy Mass and are in the proper disposition to receive Holy Communion. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are expected to have a deep understanding of the Eucharistic celebration and demonstrate right reverence while serving at Holy Mass. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion may be assigned to a team. Teams are scheduled to serve at the anticipated Sunday Mass, Sunday Masses, and holy days of obligation. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion may also bring Holy Communion to those who are sick. Also called Community Link Ministers, these lay ecclesial ministers must have a pyx, burse, and the Rite of Communion of the Sick.For information, complete a Lay Ecclesial Minister application form available at the Parish Office.
