"stick a pre-dieu at one of the stations served by a Eucharistic Minister."

FYI there are no such things as "Eucharistic Ministers" in the Catholic Church.

There are Ordinary Ministers of the Eucharist - bishops, priests and deacons.

And there are Exceptional Ministers of the Eucharist - acolytes.

And there are Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist - the employment of which is reserved for the absence of clergy or acolytes.

However, "Eucharistic Ministers" is descriptive of non-Catholic ministers who carry out "Eucharistic services".

In the New American Church that appears to be no longer correct. Certainly a DEACON would know better, no?
