Extraordinary Minister Of The Eucharistic
 |
Eucharistic Ministers assist in distributing the consecrated bread and wine, the
body and blood of Christ, to the parish community at Mass, if there
is not a bishop, priest, or deacon available. Eucharistic ministers
also bring the Eucharistic to the sick or those who cannot attend Mass
in person. Eucharistic Ministers must:
1. Be fully
initiated as a member of the Catholic Church, having received the sacraments
of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation.
2. Be actively
participating at the Mass and be registered with the faith community
of St. Mark's or St. Joseph's Catholic Church. |

Eucharistic Ministers to the home bound also must Be fully initiated as a member
or the Catholic Church, having received the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation,
Eucharist, and Confirmation. They also must be actively participating
at the Mass and be registered with the faith community of St. Mark's
or St. Joseph's Catholic Church.
Eucharistic Ministers to the home bound take Holy Communion to those who cannot attend Mass or who are temporarily
in their homes due to health or other reasons. Part of this ministry is about allowing time to visit. The time spent with the homebound may
be the only time spent with this person for a week or more.

To quote the Eucharistic Minister Handbook,
"
Yours is a share in the work of the Lord's Spirit who makes of us one bread,
one body, the cup of blessing. Yours is a work of ministering Christ's
body and blood to the body of Christ, the Church. Yours is service at
the Lord's reconciling table. You minister holy food to holy people
in the holiest of all communions."
