I am very glad to reply your question. First of all I wish to let you know who are the ordinary ministers of the Eucharist. Well, the Canon Law is very clear in this regard. The Canon No. 910 says: “The ordinary minister of the Eucharist is a Bishop, a priest or a deacon. The extraordinary minister of holy communion is an acolyte, or another of Christ’s faithful deputed to it.”
An extraordinary minister of the Eucharist must be baptised in the Catholic Church. He/she must be a practising Catholic and a person of good reputation in the community. It is not necessary to be married. But in case he/she is married must have received the sacrament of marriage. He/she has to have come of age, done some training and have the mandate of the local bishop through his/her parish priest. The extraordinary minister of the Eucharist can take communion to the sick besides distributing communion to the faithful in church. In case of absence of a priest or deacon he/she can open the tabernacle for the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament to the faithful. He/she can even expose the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance for adoration but he/she cannot absolutely give benediction. As you see the Church attaches a great importance to this ministry and service given to the faithful.
