Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Eucharistic Ministers of Holy Communion assist the priest in distributing the Eucharist to the faithful during the Mass and also take the Eucharist to the sick, the aged and homebound.
God has blessed our parish with 74 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. They serve as Ambassadors of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20) by taking the Body of our Lord to the sick every Weekend. They are instruments of evangelization by their actions of love, kindness, and Service to the sick.
