This is a profound ministry in helping to distribution the Body and Blood of Christ to the faithful. It is a ministry of the utmost reverence to God, together with the priests and deacons, in helping the assembly to receive that which their heart is drawn toward. Being bilingual is not required, but is certainly very helpful.
Requirements
A confirmed Catholic.
At least 16 years-old.
In full sacramental communion, i.e. able to receive communion.
If you are married, your marriage must be a sacramental marriage, and not a civil marriage only. Another common way of saying this is that you are "married in the Catholic Church." Those married outside the sacrament are not in full sacramental communion and should refrain from receiving the Eucharist until their marriage is made sacramental. Please feel free to contact Fr. John or Dcn. Mike to inquire more about this if needed. They will be happy to assist you in making your civil marriage sacramental.
