Extraordinary Minister of Communion

What Is An Extraordinary Minister of Communion?
An Extraordinary Minister of Communion is a layperson appointed in the Catholic Church to distribute Holy Communion (the Body and Blood of Christ) during Mass when there are not enough ordained ministers to do so in a reasonable manner. These ministers serve an important, but "extraordinary" function, as the ordinary ministers of Holy Communion are bishops, priests, and deacons. They are appointed to meet a specific need and must embody a deep faith and reverence for the Eucharist. 

Qualifications To Be An Extraordinary Minister of Communion
Qualifications necessary to be a good Extraordinary Minister of Communion include: A practicing adult Catholic who has received Confirmation and is able to show responsibility, knowledge and dedication to the liturgy; commitment to fostering volunteer participation within all groups and Masses; ability and willingness to commit the time needed.
