Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist are trained members of the laity that are called upon to assist in the distribution of Holy Communion. This ministry requires training and commissioning by the Diocese of Cleveland.
Eucharistic Ministers are also available to bring Holy Communion to the homebound.
Interested in becoming a Eucharistic Minister:
We are in great need of Eucharistic Ministers at some of our Masses. If you feel like you have a calling to engage in this very special ministry of distributing the Body and Blood of Christ to your fellow parishioners, please contact Deacon Rich at deaconman1@aol.com to talk about how you could help. Attendance at a diocesan training class is mandatory; and the next classes aren’t until the Fall. But we’re getting ourselves organized so that we can respond as soon as we know when the classes are being held. If you are already a certified Eucharistic Minister and would be willing to serve more frequently than one month per quarter, please contact our coordinator, Chris Loy at jwlcll@msn.com to let her know. Thank you!
St. Mary of the Falls is very blessed to have Eucharistic Ministers that take Communion to the four Care Centers in the Community of Olmsted Falls and to the People from our Parish that are Homebound. Well over 100 people receive Jesus in the Eucharist every week because of their commitment to Minister to the Sick. They are truly an inspiration of our faith.
Many of our Ministers having been doing this for a very long time and some of them will be retiring at the end of this year. I am praying that new people will step forward to be part of this Ministry.
If you are a Eucharistic Minister or you are willing to become a Eucharistic Minister and would like to take communion to the sick in their homes or in the Care Centers please call Judy Stasenko at 440-235-2222 ext. 122 for more information.
