Volunteers are paired with another extraordinary minister of the Eucharist for training until they feel comfortable ministering on their own. This ministry visits private homes, nursing homes, hospitals and other institutions. Schedule is flexible as these ministers can plan/coordinate a time agreeable to both for visitation.
