At St Pius the Tenth, our presiding Priest generally is assisted by a Deacon and 9 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC), in the distribution of the Communion at each Mass.  All appointed EMHC are trained and should be examples of Christian life, faith and morals. They must be a baptized person in good standing with the Catholic Church.
The Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion must have a genuine love for the Eucharist, in order to share the joy of Holy Communion with all who partake and will seek to serve the people of God in their times of need.  The EMHC serves at Mass in accordance with a schedule and/or also brings the Eucharist to those parishioners who are homebound due to illness.
Please consider participating.  If you have questions, ask Fr Richard or call the office for more information.
