Eucharistic Ministers

Rector, Coordinator

Eucharist Ministers, both lay and ordained, assist in the Liturgy by administering the chalice at the Communion. Lay Eucharistic Ministers are specifically called to this office by the Vestry, and licensed by the Bishop to serve under the supervision of the Rector. A candidate for LEM must be known to be faithful to the church by their commitment, attendance, devotion, and stewardship.

Eucharistic Ministers also play a major role in the pastoral care of the parish. They visit those who are sick or otherwise incapable of getting out to church, bringing both the sacramental Communion and the often just-as-important parish family communion. They also maintain a confidential list of those in special trouble or need, and pray for them regularly.
