The ordinary ministers of the Eucharist are the ordained (bishop, priest, deacon). Extraordinary ministers are members of the parish trained to assist in the distribution of Holy Communion.
The Eucharist is the heart and center of the Catholic Christian. Inviting, examining, and catechizing special Eucharistic ministers (baptized and confirmed men and women) is the concern of the community which calls them to serve. Special ministers of the Eucharist should be people of prayer who have a special love for the Eucharist. They assist in distributing Communion at Masses and bringing Eucharist to the sick as needed. If you are a parishioner over 18 who attends Mass weekly, and you would like to assist with this special ministry, you are requested to go through a brief training session in the theology of the Eucharist.
Like the Lector, the Eucharistic Minister serves a unique role in the liturgy. It is Jesus himself who comes to us in Communion. The Eucharistic Minister serves the Body of Christ (the Church) by bringing the Body of Christ (Communion) to the members of the Body.
After training you will be asked to serve about once a month at a Mass of your choice. For this week's schedule, refer to the Bulletin. Eucharistic ministers serve both the Sunday liturgies as well as the daily liturgies.
