St. Aidan's has approximately 140 active Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. They minister at all weekday and weekend Masses. In the past three years there has been an average of 6-8 new EMHC's each year. Anyone interested in becoming an EMHC attends the required Diocesan Training session, must have attended a Virtus Training class and has been background checked. They are installed on the Feast of Corpus Christi in June. During the fall, a mandatory Evening of Reflection and Renewal in Order is held to show the EMHC's an appreciation of their ministry and to address any issues.
