Holy Communion helps us grow in grace and helps us become closer to God.
A special minister of holy communion is a lay person who is given the opportunity to help the priest or presider in a Mass to distribute Holy Communion. A special minister of holy communion may also give holy communion to the sick.
Holy Communion
The Catholic Church is the 'communion of holy people.'
Holy Communion is a Christian rite of passage which represents a boy or girl taking their first piece of bread during church. Holy Communion represets Jesus' body and blood that he shed for us.

Catholics do NOT "take" Communion, they RECEIVE Holy Communion from the priest or a duly authorized lay minister of the Eucharist. You receive Holy Communion because Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ commanded it, saying, Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. For the complete dissertation of Our Blessed Lord on receiving Holy Communion, read the entire sixth chapter of St. John's Gospel.
Catholics do not take communion, they receive communion.
