Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist is one of the most visible ministries in the parish. These commissioned parishioners assist the priest in distributing the Body and Blood of Christ at Mass. Training and Commissioning are required.
As of Summer 2022, the Precious Blood is now available to the Congregation during several Mass, so the need for Extraordinary Ministers has increased.

Eucharistic Ministers are also asked to bring Holy Communion to people within the parish community who are sick and/or homebound.
The experience in bringing the Body of Christ to others, who cannot attend mass due to illness or other limitations, is truly a gift from God.

Would you prayerfully consider taking up an hour of Adoration? For more details, see the Eucharistic Adoration Page.
“Jesus waits for us in this Sacrament of love.
May our adoration never cease”.
Saint John Paul II.

The primary role of the altar server is to assist the priest in the celebration of the liturgy during Mass. This is done through specific actions and by setting an example to the congregation by active participation in the liturgy.
Those who have received their First Holy Communion, including older youth in high school or college, are eligible to begin training as altar servers.
