Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion who serve the Body and Blood of Christ at Mass and to the sick and homebound are the most sacred way of participating in Mass. EMS functions as servants to the body of Christ, God's people. The primary focus of their ministry is to serve our parish with fidelity, reverence, and love.

The primary work of this ministry is to serve the presider (priest) and the assembly (those who gather to celebrate) especially at Sunday Mass. This minister serves "behind the scenes" on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings before each Mass to assure that all the items needed for the day's liturgy are in place, that the appropriate ministers are present to know their roles and are ready to serve. This minister makes sure that everything required for the celebration of special rites or rituals during the Mas is placed before the Mass begins. This minister is available to the presider to attend any special details or last minute preparations.
