"He said to them, in reply, "Give them some food yourselves." MK 6:34 Often Catholics say that they are not worthy to distribute the Eucharist in the body and blood of Christ, which is true. None of us is truly worthy, priest, deacon, or lay person, but we are still called to serve God and the Body of Christ in humility. It is God who calls us to serve one another even in our unworthiness. If we are living a Christian lifestyle and not in mortal sin, we may answer the call to be Eucharistic Ministers.   Eucharistic Ministers - More properly, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion - assist the ordinary ministers of communion, priests and deacons, in the distribution of the Eucharist during Mass. They also take communion to the homebound and to the sick (see Communion Ministry, below). Eucharistic Ministers are active, adult Catholics who wish to serve their fellow parishioners and have a love of the Eucharist. Eucharistic Ministers are ordinary Christians who model Christian living in faith and conduct in their ministry and in their daily lives. Eucharistic ministers are needed at all of the weekend masses.   Youth Ministry is the church's mission of reaching into the daily lives of modern young people and showing them the presence of God. Youth Ministry is TO, WITH, BY, and FOR youth. They respond to the needs of young people and share the unique gifts of youth with the larger community. The goals of youth ministry are to work to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person and to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the faith community.
