“You give them something to eat..” ~Mark 6:37
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMs) assist with the distribution of Holy Communion in Sunday Mass. If available, you may also choose to serve in daily Mass, on Holy Days and additional seasonal liturgies, and to take Holy Communion to the homebound and/or those in a hospital or care facility.
