Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion

These people distribute Holy Communion during Mass. Individuals who have been mandated by the Archdiocese of Omaha or their former diocese are invited to become an E.M.H.C. at St. Elizabeth Ann. For new E.M.H.C.’s, the formal instruction and Mandation Ceremony is held by the diocese once a year in September.

Training is also given from our parish E.M.H.C. coordinators. High school students who are juniors or seniors are eligible to become E.M.H.C.’s. Volunteer E.M.H.C.’s are also needed to distribute Holy Communion to our homebound parishioners.
