Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMsHC) assist with the distribution of Holy Communion during Mass, to the sick or during a Communion Service.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion witness in a special way to the Lord’s presence in our midst. The minister’s attentiveness, personal presence, eye contact, way of speaking the words “The Body of Christ” or “The Blood of Christ,” and reverence to the elements all serve as vehicles of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
