In every celebration of the Eucharist, there should be a sufficient number of ministers of Holy Communion so that it may be distributed in a reverent and orderly manner.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion receive sufficient spiritual, theological, and practical preparation to fulfill their role with knowledge and reverence.
Parish members at St. John Vianney are invited to become "EM's". Notice of quarterly trainings are announced in the eBulletin, printed bulletin and website.
