Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

What is an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion?

Eucharistic ministers are lay men and women who help with the distribution of Holy Communion at daily and weekend Masses. In addition, they may be asked to bring Holy Communion to the residents of local senior communities, Bryn Mawr Hospital and to homebound parishioners. Ministers of Holy Communion show the greatest reverence for the Most Holy Eucharist by their demeanor, their attire and the manner in which they handle the consecrated bread and wine.

What are the requirements?

  • Registered parishioner
  • Reverence for the Eucharist
  • Desire to share the Gift of Eucharist with others
