Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) have the privilege to assist our clergy with the distribution of the Body and Blood of Jesus at all Masses. Ministry members must be practicing Catholics who have received the Sacraments including Confirmation, if married, must have been married in a Catholic Church, and active members of the parish. EMHCs are scheduled for Masses based on their availability approximately one month ahead and are asked to check in at the St Stephen Room 15 minutes before Mass. Training is provided twice a year, in the fall and spring.
