Lay Eucharistic Ministers Lay Eucharistic Ministers are selected by the ministry leaders of the church, trained by the diocese and Holy Trinity staff and commissioned by the Bishop to assist in special functions of worship. They read the Scriptures during Sunday worship services, and help serve the bread and wine during Holy Communion. In addition, these ministers take communion to homebound and hospitalized parishioners. Contact: Jack Bilbo
