You ought to see how many EMs are at our parish. It’s beyond ridiculous. 15 at every Mass distributing both elements of the Eucharist. I know Father is just trying to save time, but good grief! That’s an abuse, IMO.

I always thought there was only one Eucharistic Minister at Mass -- the priest.

Unfortunately, modernism has helped us to adopt this phrase. The actual title is Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. (EHMCs)

At our small Latin Masses in the area we occasionally (not often) have NO server. Many of us would prefer that situation to females on the altar.
