    Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion at Sunday Mass and Holy Days

    According to the Church Norms of the Diocese of Raleigh, lay persons are permitted to assist priests in distributing Holy Communion whenever the need arises. Men and women trained in this Ministry should have a deep devotion to the Eucharist,​ be confirmed and 18 years of age, and be in good standing with the Church (attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation and receive the Sacrament of Penance regularly). If married, they must have a valid Sacramental marriage in the Catholic Church. Specific training is required and classes are offered periodically throughout the year. Selection for this Ministry is a privilege granted by the pastor.

    Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the sick, homebound, and in the hospital

    This ministry is for those Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion who have been trained to bring Communion to those who cannot worship with us on Sunday due to illness or advanced age. Through this service, the Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion provides a link and connection with the larger parish community, as well as provides an opportunity for prayer and friendship. Membership is a privilege granted by the pastor.
    ​If you or a loved one are in the hospital, Eucharistic ministers can bring Holy Communion to patients on Sundays. Please call the office with patient's name and room number. 

    Lectors

    Lectors proclaim the Word of God by reading Scripture at Mass. Being a reader nourishes one’s personal and spiritual growth as well as promotes a keen awareness of the sacredness of the Mass. The gift needed for this ministry is an ease speaking before large groups in a clear, distinct voice.
    ​

    Thank you for your interest in these important ministries! For more information on serving, please contact the Church office.
