HANDY GUIDE FOR EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS, A

You have been chosen by your parish leadership, commissioned by your local Bishop or his delegate and have completed a training program in the important office of a special minister of Holy Communion. You may have been serving as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist for either a short or long period but you have not as yet served in your ministry outside of Mass. This little booklet is dedicated to helping you start with confidence and joy in bringing the nourishment and healing power of Christ to shut-ins and to members of your parish who are now residents of a local rest home, health care center or nursing facility. You will find some helpful tips in these pages to assist you in this noble ministry.
