Eucharistic Ministry
Whenever Mass is celebrated at Guardian Angels, the priest who is saying mass (also referred to as the celebrant) calls upon people who have been specially trained to assist with the distribution of the sacred Body and Blood of Christ. Also known as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, these individuals serve a vital role in the reverent and orderly distribution of the Body and Blood of Christ at Mass. Unlike Priests and Bishops, Eucharistic Ministers are under no circumstances permitted to consecrate unleavened bread as is done in the Eucharistic Prayer of a Priest or Bishop. Eucharistic Ministers may only distribute 'Holy Communion' which has already been consecrated.
