Whenever a congregation is large and there are a few or even just one ordained minister to distribute Holy Communion, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communiuon (EMHC) are asked to assist. Also, EMHCs fill the vital role of carrying the Eucharist to the homebound of the parish.
Those who feel called to this ministry are required to do both diocesan and local parish training. The training time is not long, but is quite important. Depending on your desire you may help either at mass, with the homebound, or both. Please contact the reception office and someone from the parish will contact you promptly.
