Parish Ministries
Extraordinary Ministers: "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, whoever believes in me will never thirst" --John 6:35
We are all able to partake of the Body and Blood of Christ, and as an Extraordinary Minister you servev a role in the distribution. Bringing together those willing to assist in the distribution of Holy Communion is a special ministry to the Church. Below is information regarding commissioning of Extraordinary Ministers in your parish, as well as resources that may be of use to the extraordinary minister. Any books from LTP are available through the Office:
