Eucharistic Ministers

General Information – Eucharistic Ministers are responsible for assisting the priest in the distribution of the precious Body and Blood of Jesus Christ at the Mass.  In addition, they help out in the sacristy before and after Mass.

Time commitment – interested candidates will receive training before being asked to serve.  Once on board, Eucharistic ministers should arrive at the church 15 minutes before Mass to prepare.

Interested? – If you are a registered parishioner who has received the sacrament of confirmation and have a desire to serve God in this way, we would love to have you join this ministry.  All interested parties are encouraged to call the parish office at 952-873-6564 or email us at parish@ourladyoftheprairie.com to learn more.

Eucharistic Minister Prayer (before Mass):

Heavenly Father, I thank you for calling me to serve You and Your people in this community as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist. You know that I could never be worthy of such an exalted honor. Help me to be less unworthy by remaining free of sin. Let me nourish Your people with the witness of my life as I feed them with the Body of Christ. Grant Your strength and holiness to all Your extraordinary ministers and make them worthy to bring Christ to others. Amen
