Extra-Ordinary Ministers of the Holy Communion

The administration of Holy Communion during the Mass is truly a ministry.  It is the ministry of bringing the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ to the People of God.  It is also the ministry of witnessing to faith in the real presence of Christ in the action of sharing in the Eucharistic Meal of Christ's sacrifice.

The requirements for becoming an Extra-Ordinary Minister of the Eucharist are:

* Must be 16 years of age or older

* Must be fully initiated in the Catholic Church

* Must be an actively practicing Catholic in good standing.

* Participate & complete appropriate formation and training within St. Luke R.C. Parish

Some Extra-Ordinary Ministers of the Holy Communion are trained to serve as ‘Ministers of Holy Communion for the Sick’. They visit hospitals and nursing homes as well as bringing the Lord to our home-bound parishioners. Additional training under the direction of Deacon Jack Ames is necessary for Ministers of Holy Communion for the Sick'

If you believe God is calling you to participate in this beautiful ministry, please contact the office at 410-250-0300 to leave a message for the Director of Extra-Ordinary Ministers, Deacon Jack Ames.

Pastoral Care at Home: If you, a family member, or a friend are sick and cannot participate in Mass, or the sacraments, please call the office (410-250-0300) and arrangements can be made to have one of our lay ministers visit you and bring the Eucharist.
