"Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion (emHCs) should receive sufficient spiritual, theological and practical preparation to fulfill their role with knowledge and reverence."
EMHC's are formally recognized after they have participated in diocesan formation for this ministry; they are then commissioned in their parish or institutions by the pastor or his equivalent.
The Office for Worship recently completed the Fall, 2023 round of EMHC formation sessions. The next round of sessions will be held in Spring, 2024. Check back then for dates and locations.
Thank you for your interest in this ministry!
