DIOCESE OF RALEIGH NORMS FOR EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION AT MASS

1. INTRODUCTION 1.2 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion have constituted an important ministry in the parishes, missions, sta-

tions, and campus ministries of the Diocese of Raleigh. This ministry compliments and extends that of the Ordi-nary Minister.

2. MINISTRY ELIGIBILITY 2.1 Men and women sixteen years or older and having received the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and

Eucharist) are eligible for this ministry. They are to be Catholics in good standing who sincerely try to live the Gospel message in accordance with the teachings of the Church. They are to participate regularly in the celebra-tion of the Sunday Eucharist and the practice their Catholic faith. They are to be registered members of the par-ish in which they are commissioned.

3. MINISTRY REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Upon the recommendation of the pastor or pastoral administrator, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Com-munion are appointed by the Diocesan Bishop before they serve. There is a term limit of five years with an op-tion of renewal for an additional five years. Renewal is not automatic. As a result, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion must be reappointed by the Diocesan Bishop before they continue their service. If an Extraor-dinary Minister of Holy Communion has served for a total of two terms (10 years) and there is a serious pastoral reason for an exception to the norm for maximum service, a request may be made to the Diocesan Bishop for an extension of the term for each individual. Once approved by the Diocesan Bishop, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion must be commissioned at a parish Mass using the approved liturgical ritual provided in the Book of Blessings.

3.2 While the norm is to have Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion function only in their parish/mission of domicile and active participation, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion may be appointed, upon the re-quest of the Campus Minister (University, College, Catholic School) or Hospital Chaplain for service only at their respective locations, following the same procedure as those appointed for parish/mission ministry.

3.3 Furthermore, there may be times when, at the request of the Priest Celebrant, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Com-munion, who are appointed for service in the Diocese of Raleigh, may be asked to function at liturgical celebra-tions outside the parish/mission (e.g., at retreats, deanery and diocesan celebrations).

3.5 An individual should participate in only one liturgical ministry (e.g. Reader, Cantor, or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion). This is meant to encourage greater participation of the members of the parish community as an expression of their responsibility in the liturgical life of the parish. However, in those circumstances where there is a dearth of ministers, an individual may perform another ministry.

3.6 Prior to their commissioning by the Diocesan Bishop for appointment, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion must be prepared for ministry by participation in formation either on the parish or Diocesan level. The Office of Divine Worship welcomes the opportunity to provide training for parishes. In addition, Ministry Training will be provided annually at the Diocesan Convocation.

3.7 Parishes should provide regular opportunities for continued formation and renewal. The Office of Divine Worship has resources available to assist in this endeavor. 3.8 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are to demonstrate the greatest respect for the most Holy Eucharist by their demeanor, their attire, and the manner in which they handle the consecrated species, distributing Holy Communion with dignity and reverence. 3.9 Apparel appropriate for ministry is business attire. Apparel not proper for ministry includes casual, scant, and unsuit-

able clothing: sneakers/athletic shoes, flip-flops, jeans, t-shirts, sweat/jogging suits, any clothing with logos (e.g., sport teams), as well as anything promoting personal causes (e.g., politics).

3.10 Persons appointed to this ministry may be called upon to serve even though they have not been previously sched-uled to do so. Therefore, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should come to Mass prepared and dressed appropriately. If, for any reason, one is not prepared or properly attired, s/he should graciously decline the invitation to assist at that time.

3.11 As with all liturgical ministers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are first and foremost members of the worshipping assembly. Therefore, they should endeavor to model a respectful and reverent attitude (e.g., by ar-riving on time and participating fully in the Mass by listening, singing and responding from their place in the assembly).

3.12 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion do not participate in the entrance procession or recession. They should sit in the assembly with no designated place set aside for them. No liturgical vesture should be worn.

4. HOLY COMMUNION UNDER BOTH SPECIES 4.2 Pastors should instruct the faithful that the Catholic faith teaches that Christ, whole and entire, and the true Sacra-

ment, is received under only one species and hence that as regards the resulting fruits, those who receive under only one species are not deprived of any grace that is necessary for salvation” (see GIRM, 282).

4.4 The Bishop of Raleigh regards Holy Communion under both species as an admirable practice and accordingly grants permission for Communion under both kinds in the parishes, missions, stations and campus ministries of the Diocese of Raleigh at all celebrations of the Holy Mass.

4.6 Distribution of Holy Communion under both species is to be suspended when the Sacred Liturgy of the Mass is cele-brated in non-sacred places which are not ordinarily associated within the normal course of a parish or school liturgical life, such as gymnasiums, convention centers, hotel ballrooms, etc., unless permission has been granted by the Diocesan Bishop through the Office of Divine Worship (Redemptionis Sacramentum, 108).

4.7 Additionally, consideration should be given to suspending the distribution of Holy Communion under both species when the possibility of the Rite becomes “difficult because of the large number of participants”, such as Christ-mas or Easter (see GIRM, 283).

5. THE DISTRIBUTION OF HOLY COMMUNION 5.1 After the Priest Celebrant has received Holy Communion, the Extraordinary Ministers approach the altar and bow to

the altar (see GIRM, 162). 5.2 The Extraordinary Ministers receive Holy Communion in the usual manner. They must never self communicate.

They receive Communion from the Priest Celebrant, or a concelebrating Priest, or the Deacon. 5.3 Extraordinary Ministers are always to receive the vessel (ciborium or chalice) containing the Holy Eucharist for dis-

tribution to the faithful (GIRM, 162) from the Priest Celebrant, a concelebrating Priest or a Deacon. Utmost care and respect regarding the sacred species should be taken by the minister while traveling to and from the station to administer Holy Communion to the faithful. Specifically, the purificator is to be used to cover the chalice, so that two hands are used to hold the chalice.

5.4 As the communicant approaches the Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, the minister says, “the Body of Christ” or “the Blood of Christ”, as prescribed in the Roman Missal. No other invitation, such as using the name of the communicant or “this is the Body of Christ…” is to be used. After the communicant responds “Amen”, the minister then gives Holy Communion to the communicant. The host or the chalice is not to be elevated in any manner. 5.5 Those ministering the Precious Blood wipe the rim of the chalice both inside and outside after each communicant

receives. The minister then turns the chalice a quarter turn in preparation for the next communicant. 5.6 Although it has been a common pastoral practice in the Diocese of Raleigh for Ministers of Communion to impart a

blessing to those who come forward with hands crossed in the communion procession and who are not receiving Holy Communion, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are commissioned only to distribute the Body and Blood of Christ to the faithful. The Extraordinary Minister may offer a brief prayer for those in the Assem-bly who come forward in the communion procession and who are not receiving Holy Communion, such as “May God bless you” This prayer is to be offered audibly and may not be accompanied by the gesture associ-ated with a blessing, e.g., the raising of the hand or the sign of the cross.

5.7 The distribution of Holy Communion is also not the occasion for any greeting or conversation by the Minister with the faithful in the communion procession. 5.8 As health concerns dictate that Ordinary and Extraordinary Ministers of Communion not use their hand to touch the

head of the communicant and then distribute the Body of Christ to another among the faithful, so Ministers of the Sacred Body of Christ are also to exercise great care of this sacred species by limiting their corporal contact with the faithful to the administration of the Blessed Sacrament.

5.9 The norm established for the Dioceses of the United States of America is that Holy Communion is to be received standing, unless an individual member of the faithful wishes to receive Communion while kneeling. When receiving Holy Communion, the communicant bows his or her head before the Sacrament as gesture of reverence and receives the Body of the Lord from the minister. The consecrated host may be received either on the tongue or in the hand, at the discretion of each communicant. When Holy Communion is received under both kinds, the sign of reverence is also is also made before receiving the Precious Blood (GIRM, 160).

5.10 After the distribution of Communion is completed, the ministers return their vessels to the altar and return to their place in the assembly in a reverent and prayerful manner. 5.11 The Deacon, or in the absence of the Deacon, the Priest Celebrant or a concelebrating Priest will consume the re-

maining consecrated wine and gather any remaining consecrated hosts for reservation in the tabernacle. If any of the Precious Blood remains after the last communicant, the Bishop of Raleigh has given permission for the Ex-

traordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to consume it from their chalice of distribution. This is to be carried out standing at the altar.
