Communion Ministers

If you are interested in distributing the Body and Blood of Christ to fellow parishioners, the elderly or the sick, then consider becoming a Communion Minister.

Communion Ministers:

  • Distribute the Body and Blood during the Mass as needed.
  • May volunteer to take Communion to the sick, hospitalized, shut-ins and those in nursing homes.
  • Must have received the Sacrament of Confirmation.
  • Must attend a two-part seminar directed by Deacon Jim Lawson to learn more about their new role. Each part lasts about an hour and a half and includes prayer, theological information and a practicum. The sessions are typically held twice a year.

When will I be needed?

  • Ministers are scheduled for the Mass they usually attend.
  • Three-to-four-month schedules are available before the effective dates of assignment.
