Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion play a vital role in the life of the Church by assisting in the distribution of the Eucharist – the source and summit of our faith. Whether serving at Mass or bringing the Blessed Sacrament to the sick and homebound, these ministers extend Christ’s presence and love to His people.

This sacred ministry is both a privilege and a responsibility, entrusted to laypersons who are mature in their faith, formed in the Church’s teaching, and committed to reverent service. Here, you will find resources for training, guidelines for ministry, and opportunities for spiritual enrichment as you carry out this important work in your parish and beyond.
