The Call to be an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion

Being an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion is humbling and beautiful. Here is the opportunity to serve the deep hunger of people to find the presence of Christ. This is our ministry and our privilege. The presence of the risen Christ which you bring, both in the sacrament and in yourself, is a presence characterized by a deeply spiritual, realistic love – a love that seeks the good of others – a love that never ends.

If you would like to become an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion at Mass or for the Homebound, please contact the church office. 863-465-3215.
