Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion Training
It is time for a ministry refresher and an open invitation to those who would like to serve as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.
We have two upcoming training opportunities. Training will be held in the church nave.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, 7PM
and
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH, 10AM
Current and prospective EMHC’s will need to attend one of the training sessions. We will begin with a refresher for those who have previously undergone training as an EMHC at St. Angela Merici (approx. 30 minutes). It will be followed by a more in-depth training, question/answer session, and walk-through with those who are attending training for the first time (approx. 30-45 min).
If you are new to this ministry, please RSVP to Susan Sasso volunteer@stamericigh.com

These lay ministers assist the Ordinary ministers of the Eucharist (priests and deacons) with the distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist to the faithful at Mass, as well as those in the hospital and the homebound.
The Archdiocese requires that all EMHCs be at least 18 years of age or a senior in high school, have received the Sacraments of First Eucharist and Confirmation, are living a life in communion with the teachings of the Catholic Church, and if married, it must be a Catholic marriage. The Church also requires that EMCHs be trained in the basic theology of the Eucharist as well as the proper handling of the Body and Blood of Christ. If you have any questions about your eligibility for this ministry, please contact the Liturgy Office.
