EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS - "There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord... (1Corinthians 12:4).
The role of Eucharistic Minister, like all roles of service, is a true ministry, called forth from those who have the special gifts for that ministry. The ministry of the Eucharist is a ministry of gift-giving. It should, therefore, be a ministry for those who themselves are loving, generous, and self-giving people.
The person invited to be a Eucharistic Minister should have a sense of reverence for the Eucharist that is obvious to all and which encourages an equal reverence in those receiving Communion.
Those who aspire to be Eucharistic Ministers should be people of mature and demonstrated faith. They should be effective Christian witnesses and active in the sacramental life of the Church.
Eucharistic Ministers are commissioned by their pastor according to the approved rite and in the presence of the liturgical assembly within or outside Mass.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion possess a deep love and reverence for the Eucharist and a joyful desire to share it with the community. You must be a Confirmed Catholic in good standing with the Church, officially mandated for service by the Diocese of Lansing (obtained by the parish).
