As ‘Extra’ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, it is our humble privilege to assist the Bishop, priests and/or deacons (the Ordinary) with the distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ at various Masses throughout the year.
It is important that those individuals selected to serve as ministers be chosen carefully. The instruction Immensae Caritatis describes the qualifications: “The faithful who are special ministers of communion must be persons whose good qualities of Christian life, faith, and morals recommend them. Let them strive to be worthy of this great office, foster their own devotion to the Eucharist, and show an example to the rest of the faithful by their own devotion and reverence toward the most august sacrament of the altar. No one is to be chosen whose appointment the faithful might find disquieting.”  The ministry is open to registered parishioners whose life embodies these qualifications in addition to the following:

• If married, must be in a valid marriage according to Church Law
• Must have received the Sacrament of Confirmation
• Must be at least 16 years of age (at least 18 years of age if visiting the sick and homebound)

Ministers typically serve once a month during the weekend masses with the opportunity to serve at weddings, funerals, quinceañeras, holidays and on Holy Days of Obligation. If you’re interested in serving with us, please contact:
