Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are entrusted with distributing the Body and Blood of Christ during the Communion Rite at Mass. They are called “extraordinary” because priests and deacons are considered the “ordinary” ministers of Holy Communion. However, the assistance of lay ministers is needed at Mass so that the Communion Rite is not unduly long.
