An Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (EMHC), often incorrectly called a Eucharistic Minister, is a term used in the Roman Catholic Church for members of the laity who have been authorized to distribute the Eucharist to members of the congregation during Mass. Typically, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion can also distribute Holy Communion to those in prisons, hospitals, and nursing homes, or are otherwise sick and unable to attend Mass.
