Stop it. Just stop it.
If these females really want to be useful and charitable, they should just go 'babysit' animals at the shelters. I would never accept 'communion' from their 'manicured' hands!

@Opera 369 It's an attention seeking ego trip. The Vatican stated that when EMHC's are absolutely necessary, individuals are only to be used for a certain period, before relinquishing the position to someone else. In practice, this seldom, if ever, happens. Once they've got their claws into a perceived position of power, these women (and sometimes men) will not let go.

Go to: On Communion in the Hand and Similar Frauds by Michael Davies and scroll down for a 31 page booklet by Michael Davies. It is Communion in the hand and under both kinds which has ushered in the totally unnecessary requirement for 'Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion'. They were even forbidden by Pope John Paul II except under very strict circumstances, but that was yet another document that went straight down the memory hole: Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum [157.] "If there is usually present a sufficient number of sacred ministers for the distribution of Holy Communion, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion may not be appointed. Indeed, in such circumstances, those who may have already been appointed to this ministry should not exercise it. The practice of those Priests is reprobated who, even though present at the celebration, abstain from distributing Communion and hand this function over to laypersons."
