Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) In the Archdiocese of Omaha, Catholic men or women who are high school juniors or older are recommended by the pastor to attend Archdiocesan training sessions and are mandated to serve a three-year, renewable term as an EMHC.

Training sessions are held twice a year. An EMHC is mandated by the Archbishop to serve in this archdiocese only. If you served in another diocese, you must be mandated in Omaha.  

In St. Columbkille Parish, EMHC’s serve at weekday and weekend Masses, on holy days, weddings, funerals, and at other parish Eucharistic celebrations. They take communion to the sick and the homebound.
