Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

The Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion  program involves lay ministers who assist in the distribution of Communion at all of our Sunday liturgies, holy days and special Masses. In the Mass, they are referred to more accurately as "Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion   " (the "ordinary" minister being the priest celebrant).
An Extraordinary minister of Holy Communion  is a registered parishioner and is mandated by the Bishop. An Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion  serves, distributes, and administers the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ during the Holy Mass.

Qualifications:
1. be a registered member of the parish
2. Fully initiated in the faith, that is, be baptized, received First Eucharist, confirmed, and if married, marriage must be recognized by Catholic Church
3. Completed and adhere to the Safe Environment Program of the parish and the Diocese of Dallas
Participation in this ministry offers the individual ministers a very special means of participating in the Mass. We are always very eager to welcome new ministers to our ranks.
