Welcome to St. Anne - St. Patrick Parish! Thank you for being a valued part of this community. As we grow together in Christ through worship, prayer, and service, we invite you to deepen your connection with the parish and support one another in faith.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion—sometimes called Eucharistic Ministers—help the priest in sharing the Body and Blood of Christ with the parish community. At Mass, they assist in the reverent and orderly distribution of the Eucharist. Some also bring Communion to parishioners who cannot attend Mass because they are homebound, in nursing homes, or in assisted living facilities, ensuring that all remain closely united to Christ and the parish family.
Those called to this ministry receive preparation so they may serve with reverence, understanding, and deep respect for the Eucharist. Ministers are expected to approach their service prayerfully, dress appropriately, and handle the consecrated bread and wine with the utmost care. Their dedication helps our parish celebrate the Eucharist with dignity and ensures that all who wish to receive Holy Communion are able to do so.
