Extraordinary Ministers

St. John Paul II in “Redemptionis Sacramentum,” chapter VII, instructed; The ordinary ministers of Holy Communion are the Bishops, Priests and Deacons in virtue of their ordination. Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion are laypersons who have been instituted and delegated by the Ordinary Ministers to help in distributing Holy Communion to the faithful.

Music
Ministry

Music is an integral part of Liturgical celebrations. It is also a form of prayer. The primary minister of music is the assembly itself. Ministers of music lead the assembly in singing to give praise to God. The Choir must encourage the faithful to actively participate in the celebration through music.
Music is an important part of community worship.
