Extraordinary Minister of Communion (EMC): In every celebration of the Eucharist, there should be a sufficient number of ministers of Holy Communion so that it may be distributed in a reverent and orderly manner.
All ministers of Holy Communion should show the greatest reverence for the Most Holy Eucharist by their demeanor, their attire, and the manner in which they handle the consecrated bread or wine. To be an Extraordinary Minister of Communion, an individual must be approved by the bishop, and participate in the appropriate training sessions and periodic
enrichment experiences.
John 6:35Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst."
