The sessions include the Theology of the Eucharist, liturgical ministry and the practical aspects of the role of Communion minister. The program fulfills the training portion of the canonical mandate required for this ministry.
An update session will be held May 9 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at St. Michael Church, 3705 Stone Lakes Dr. The Communion minister update session is for ministers who need a mandate renewal. It fulfills the requirements for continuing formation for extraordinary ministers of holy Communion.
