A great way to attend Mass is by becoming part of the liturgy. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion help distribute the Eucharist to the faith community, reminding us of the words of St. Paul: "You are the body of Christ."

Serving as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion is also a wonderful opportunity, as a parent, to impress upon your child the importance of serving in the parish community. Perhaps this role model action will inspire your child to serve in the parish community as they get older.

Schedules are posted on an automated scheduler, three months prior to the commitment. You can commit for one month at a time or certain weeks out of the month or specific Masses. If you are not comfortable with a regular commitment, there is also a need for substitutes (subs) at all Masses.

If you have interest in joining this special, rewarding ministry please contact Fred Kleczka (eucharisticministers@stmaryhc.org).
