InHisLove726 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) This really hit home for me. I am an EMHC at my parish, and we are given a schedule of when we are supposed to serve. I don't like it. I think it detracts from the reverence of the Blessed Sacrament. I've witnessed other EMsHC treating their commission to serve as a right instead of a privilege. Also, I answered "yes" to all three. There is another parish I attend that has Extraordinary Ministers for the weekday Mass. I don't think this is necessary at all. There's not as many people attend during the week as on Sunday. I think, if anything, the priest should be serving the Precious Body and one EMHC could serve the Precious Blood. At my Sunday parish, there is a need to have some extraordinary ministers because it is a rather large parish (1,500 families), but we have WAY too many! Edited August 1, 2009 by InHisLove726
