EMHC Info
In the Catholic Mass, the role of Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs) is a vital ministry that ensures the reverent and orderly distribution of the Eucharist. This ministry is not merely a functional role but a profound act of service and devotion, reflecting the deep reverence for the Body and Blood of Christ. The primary role of EMHCs is to assist in the distribution of Holy Communion when there are not enough ordained ministers (bishops, priests, and deacons) to serve the congregation. ]The term "extraordinary" highlights that this role is supplementary and not a replacement for the ordinary ministers of Holy Communion.
