Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (E.M.H.C.)

              Soul of Christ, sanctify me
              Body of Christ, save me
              Blood of Christ, inebriate me
              Water from Christ's side, wash me
              Passion of Christ, strengthen me
              O good Jesus, hear me
              Within Thy wounds hide me
              Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
              From the malicious enemy defend me
              In the hour of my death call me
             And bid me come unto Thee
             That I may praise Thee with Thy saints 
             and with Thy angels Forever and ever. Amen

You came to this page perhaps because you have heard the calling to this very special Ministry:  The Ministry which will allow you to distribute the Body and Blood of Christ to our Parishioners during mass, just like the Apostles were distributing the food among those who came to listen to Jesus' Word. 

You could also perform Corporal works of Mercy by bringing the Holy Communion and the Word of God to the sick in the hospital or to those who can't leave their homes due to medical issues.
