Serve our parish with reverence and care
The Eucharist is at the centre of our life together.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion assist with the distribution of Holy Communion during Mass and help our parish serve those who cannot always come to church.
What ministers do
At Mass, ministers assist with the reverent distribution of Holy Communion.
With appropriate instruction and the direction of the pastor, some ministers may also bring Holy Communion to parishioners who are:
- in hospital;
- living Allendale Life Care Centre or Martindale Gardens
These visits help people remain connected to the parish community.
Who can take part
Ministers are appointed by the pastor under the authority of the bishop.
Preparation is provided through the parish, with diocesan formation when available.
Need Communion brought to someone?
If you or someone you love is unable to attend Mass, call 905-878-6535 or email reception@holyrosary.ca and ask about options for receiving Communion at home, in hospital or in care.
Family members and caregivers are welcome to make an enquiry.
