Thank you for your continued ministry at St. Edna!
Our Extraordinary Ministers of Communion or EM's help the gathered community become closer to Christ and each other by assisting with the distribution of the Body and Precious Blood of Christ at weekend and weekday liturgies or at weekday Communion Services.
Training for this ministry consists of attending an Archdiocese training session at St. Edna, and attending a training/practice session specifically about St. Edna. EM's become certified by the Archdiocese for a three year period, which may be renewed as necessary. In addition, an annual Evening of Renewal is provided for all liturgical ministers to reflect on their role as a minister and a member of the St. Edna's Catholic community.
The following summarizes the expectations, duties, and responsibilities of our Extraordinary Ministers of Communion:
