Read the book, “Get Us Out of Here” by Maria Simma. You will never receive Holy Communion in your hands again!

BTW, the priest is the only Eucharistic Minister at a Mass. The priest is the Ordinary Minister. Others who help distribute Communion, which we won’t need with only 25 attendees, are properly called Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

“Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion”

IIRC, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are not to be used unless the priests and deacons present cannot reach everyone within a reasonable time.

These days it seems like that reasonable time has been reduced to about a minute forty.

At my church, I'm referred to as an extraordinary minister. That works for me.

In conversations outside of the physical structure, what i do is referred to in polite conversation as Eucharistic minister. When I attended Aristotle's Academy many years ago, my philosophy professor suggested, since we all see things according to our own persuasion, the real miracle is that we can communicate at all.
