The ministry of distributing Holy Communion at Mass is a valuable and necessary service to the faithful of our parish. The Eucharistic Ministers assist the priest and deacon with the distribution of Holy Communion whenever the number of worshipers demands that the priest (and deacon, when present) have help to distribute communion in a timely and dignified manner.
Besides this assistance at Mass, some Ministers also assist with the important task of taking Communion to the sick and the homebound. They bring the love of Christ and his body, the Church, to those who are most in need of his comfort.
