Eucharistic Ministers At Mass and To The Sick

These persons are provided education and training to assist in the distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ at the Eucharistic Table and also to the sick, the hospitalized and the homebound. They are helpers to the priest who is the 'ordinary' minister. Their own personal lives must be lived in the light of the sacramental character of the work they do and must therefore be practicing Catholics.
