When people answer with anything else than the "Amen" has always been one of my pet peeves when I am an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.

Do you correct them?

And ... just curious ... does your pastor allow EMHCs to "bless" children in the communion line?

No, I don't correct them. (However, I am going to send this article to my priest.)

**does your pastor allow EMHCs to "bless" children in the communion line?**

No, he is the only one who can bless them. We can put our hand on their shoulder and say something else, but only he can trace the cross on their forehead in blessing.
