Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion serve at the discretion of the pastor. Ministers may serve in this capacity after participating in a class conducted by the Archdiocese of Omaha and attending a special Mass at the Cathedral where the Archbishop mandates the Lectors and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. St. Robert’s adults and students who are juniors in high school and older may become EMHCs. EMHCs serve at daily and weekend Masses and also take the Eucharist to residents of nursing homes and to other homebound parishioners. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion serve based on a schedule that is provided each month.

Altar servers represent the congregation at the altar, prepare the altar for the Mass, and assist the celebrant at the Mass. This ministry is open to all St. Robert’s youth in grades 7 and 8. Youth Altar Servers are assigned times in a schedule that is provided each month.

Adult Funeral Servers assist the priests of the parish at funerals. This ministry provides an opportunity for funeral servers to perform corporal works of mercy for the honor and glory of God. Funeral servers are responsible for preparing the sanctuary for the funeral liturgy and serving the priests as required in the Order of the Funeral before, during, and after the funeral Mass. Funeral servers participate in teams of five members. There being three teams, each team is often in sequence every third funeral. A minimum of three hours is required for a typical participant serving each funeral.
