Among the many ministries in our parish, one of the most obvious is that of our "Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist," comonly called Eucharistic Ministers or EM's. We are called "Extraordinary" because ordained bishops, priests and deacons are the "Ordinary" or normal ministers. The need for EM's is by reason of pastoral requirements of our parish community. This privilege, then, is not for the individual but for the community in need.

In addition to serving God and His people at seven weekend Masses and on Holy Days, we serve the home-bound parishioners and the catholics in the hospitals and nursing homes within our parish boundries.

Those who feel the call to serve as EM's should be mature persons, leading exemplary Christian lives, firm in faith and morals, and respected by the Christian community.

If you are willing to accept the responsibility attached to this particular ministry at OLPH, leave your name and phone number with one of our office staff. When there is enough for a small class, spiritual and procedural training will be scheduled. This normally takes place on a Saturday with Mass and instructions. Thank you and God Bless you.
