Handbook for Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

As an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, your ministry goes far deeper than helping the priest give out the Eucharist. In fact, says Nancy Cunniff, “you serve the whole community by sharing with them the mystery that makes us one body.” In this inspiring booklet, Cunniff helps you understand meaning of the communal celebration of the Eucharist and your role and responsibility as a member of the assembly. You’ll get a deeper understanding of the communion rite and the practical, theological, and ritual dimensions of your ministry. With prayers and reflections written specifically for extraordinary ministers, you’ll find yourself newly refreshed in your love for the Eucharist.Nancy Cunniff
