Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist

Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion are members of the lay faithful who assist the ordinary ministers (priests and deacons) with the distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ at Eucharistic celebrations.

The role of minister is not limited to just the function instrument of Communion within the physical church, but also leads inspires a greater desire to reveal and offer Christ in the fullness of their lives.

Requirements include being a registered parishioner at St. Stephen Catholic Community, attending a training session and being commissioned as an EMHC.
