Liturgical Ministries
To participate in these ministries, please fill out the form below.
Eucharistic Minister
The communion rite is the heart and center of the Eucharistic liturgy. As we gather around the Lord's table to receive the one bread and drink from a shared cup, we recognize each other as sisters and brothers bound together by the love of Jesus Christ. Extraordinary Ministers assist the priest and deacons at Mass with distribution of the Body and Blood of Our Lord. They may also bring Holy Communion to the sick or homebound. They are required to go through a training class prior to serving and are then mandated by the Bishop.
