Extraordinary Ministers of Communion
There are two parts of this ministry: serving at Mass and taking communion to our homebound parishioners and Catholics in the local healthcare centers. Though the visitation calls are not a requirement, it is encouraged, as these folks have a tremendous need for the presence of Our Lord in both the Eucharist and in those who visit them.

- be commissioned by the pastor
- be trained in the ministry
- be committed to the times assigned
