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 Tracy Oliver in the Liturgy Office.
