Titles for Catholic Eucharistic Ministers:
In the Catholic Mass, the following titles should be used:
- Ordinary Ministers of the Eucharistic are bishops and priests.
- Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are bishops, priests, and deacons.
- Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion are laypersons designated by the bishop of the diocese to assist in the distribution of Communion. As stated in the Vatican document, Redemptionis Sacramentum, in chapter VII, paragraphs 154-156, the term "Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion" (EMHC) is the proper title and should be the only one used. The title LEM is no longer to be used.
