There are fifteen students who serve as ministers of the Eucharist here at Cardinal Mooney High School. These students have been properly trained and meet the qualifications described in the Diocesan Policy for Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist. These students also have been endorsed by the Bishop of Youngstown to be commissioned for a period of three years.
Ministers of the Eucharist distribute Communion at ten to twelve Masses celebrated each year at Cardinal Mooney. They are also encouraged to serve in this ministry at their individual parishes or in taking Communion to the homebound or nursing homes.
In order to become a Minister of the Eucharist, one must be fully initiated into the Catholic Church and be at least sixteen years old.
