Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are assigned to distribute the Body and Blood of Jesus at Masses and Communion services. They may also bring Communion to people in their homes, hospitals and care centers. Contact: Mary Brostuen, 507-403-9754
Mass Servers
Students in grade 5 and up are eligible to assist at the altar as Mass Servers. Servers are divided into teams for each of the four weekend Mass times. Each team is comprised of 8 young people who serve on a four-week rotation. Other young people can apply and, after completing training, be listed as substitute servers and put on the regular rotation when a server leaves or becomes inactive in this ministry.
Servers for school Masses and funerals are trained through the parish school. These servers may also apply to be placed on the weekend Mass serving teams.
Mass Coordinators
Mass Coordinators prepare the worship space for Mass. They also check to see that people for the other ministries are present. Mass Coordinators are commissioned as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and assist with Communion at Mass. Mass Coordinators serve for a month at a time at a specific liturgy. Contact: Pam Blazina, 663-1879
