A Eucharistic Minister is a layperson in the Catholic Church who assists in the distribution of the Eucharist during Mass. This role is essential for ensuring that all congregants can receive communion, especially when the number of attendees is large or when there are multiple services. Eucharistic Ministers are trained and appointed by their local parish. They may also bring the Eucharist to the sick or homebound, providing spiritual support and connection to the community. Their service reflects the church's commitment to inclusivity and care for all members.
