Eucharistic Visitor Training
A Eucharistic Visitor is a lay person authorized to take the consecrated elements in a timely manner following a Celebration of Holy Eucharist to members of the congregation who, by reason of illness or infirmity, were unable to be present at the Celebration of the Eucharist. A Eucharistic Visitor acts under the direction of a deacon, if any, or otherwise the member of the clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith.
The Episcopal Church in Colorado licenses lay people who have been confirmed or received in the Episcopal church to serve as Eucharistic Visitors.
