New Eucharistic Minister Procedures   Dress appropriately – No Jeans please!   Arrive at the church at least 10 minutes before Mass.  Check in with Father for possible changes or anything different.  Put on your cross and take your place in the congregation.   After Father receives the cup, Eucharistic ministers come to the sanctuary, and before entering the sanctuary make a profound bow to the altar.   The key will be in the tabernacle, but you will only need to go to the tabernacle if you run out of hosts. Fill your plate and leave ciborium on the altar in case anyone else needs more hosts.  When ciborium in returned to tabernacle, lock the doors and place key on table. Please close tabernacle doors after removing the ciborium.   If you drop a host, pick it up and place on the plate.  Father will consume it later.   When someone approaches you with arms crossed over their chest asking for a blessing, just place your hand over them and say “May you receive the Lord in your heart.”   Intinction is not an option.  (No dipping the host into the cup).   You are not to monitor or correct people who do something other than bow before communion.  Just inform Father and he will address it.   After communion is over, the Eucharistic ministers or deacons with cups are to consume the remaining precious blood at the altar, then place cups on the table to be purified after mass.   After you leave the sanctuary, turn and make a profound bow to the altar before returning to your seat.   After mass, the Eucharist minister listed last on the schedule is responsible for cleaning the vessels. Fill cups with hot water and rinse into the sacrarium.  Wipe dry with a purificator, then rinse out the purificator into the sacrarium and lay across the top of sacrarium.
