Customer Reviews

The Ministry of Communion

This is a very informative, short, easy-to-read book (almost a pamphlet) that gives basic and practical information to the first-time Eucharistic Minister. I purchased it following my first Eucharistic training because it was highly recommended. Each chapter outlines the basic "how-to's" such as how to stand, how to hold the chalice, how to prepare yourself to minister, eye contact, etc. Overall, I found it extremely helpful as well as spiritually meaningful.
