Serving at the Sacred Banquet:
Our Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

At St. Vincent de Paul Parish, the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion come forward with hearts full of reverence and love.

These ministers are mature Catholic Christians, intricately integrated into the fabric of our parish life. They fulfill their baptismal calling as the extended hands of Christ. Serving as "official assistants" to the clergy, they step out from the congregation with the sacred vessels in hand. In this sacred role, they remain united with the assembly, partaking in the mystical feast.

Remember, their service is more than logistical; it is an encounter with the Divine. As you receive Communion, take a moment to express gratitude to these ministers, for they are crafting a sacred tapestry where bread transforms into the Body, and wine into the Blood.
