The work of the Eucharistic Minister of Holy Communion (or “EM”) is to minister Christ’s body and blood to the body of Christ, the church. A person who aspires to this ministry must be a confirmed Roman Catholic, who regularly shares in the Eucharist and is committed to the faith. Archdiocesan training is required, which is held periodically during the year. Each EM serves approximately two to three times a month according to your Mass preference.
