Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion have been assisting priests and deacons with the distribution of Holy Communion at liturgical services since 1978. They also bring the Eucharist to the sick and homebound within the parish boundaries, as directed by the Pastor. This ministry is open to Catholic men and women who have been parishioners of Saint James Church for at least one year. Selected and appointed by the Pastor, Eucharistic Ministers are mandated by the Bishop for a period of two years. Attendance at an annual re-commitment meeting is required.
