The distribution of Holy Communion at Mass is a sacred ministry of the ordained. However, when the need arises, fully initiated Christian men and women may be invited to collaborate in the ministry of the ordained to their sisters and brothers. In addition to bringing the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ to the people of God, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion witness to faith in the real presence of Christ by their actions and by the dignity and reverence with which they treat the Body of Christ. Please review the Guidelines and Norms for EMHCs to learn more about this sacred and important ministry. To apply to serve as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, please review the application and return to Julianne O'Brien in the Bishop's Office at [email protected] If you prefer to print and mail the document, you may direct the application here:
