Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion

When there is a need for distributing the Eucharist, the EMHC aids the priest in this most solemn task. Priests are the ordinary ministers of Holy Communion since they have been ordained to Christ the Eternal High Priest.

Altar Serving

They carry the incense and thurible, present the bread, wine, and water to the priest during the preparation of the gifts, or assist him when he receives the gifts from the people. Servers assist in the washing of hands by the priest, and assist the priest and deacon as necessary.
