Our Eucharistic Ministers give a solemn undertaking to serve the Parish, to assist the priests and the people of our community by distributing Holy Communion at Mass, by administering the Eucharist to the sick in their homes.
At the heart of this commitment is the resolution to deepen one’s faith, to live according to the Gospel values and to develop a deep love, reverence and devotion to Our Blessed Lord in the Eucharist.
If you feel called to share this ministry, please contact the priest. Special Ministers of the Eucharist are commissioned on a yearly basis.
Note that Special Ministers of the Eucharist have to pass Safeguarding checks before being allowed to bring Holy Communion to the sick or housebound.
The Liturgy Commission has produced a number of leaflets and other materials to support Eucharistic Ministers. More information can be found here.
