The priest and deacon would be ordinary ministers, but in many cases, they need assistance in the distribution of the Holy Communion, and so the church provides for extraordinary ministry of Holy Communion. Typically, the extraordinary ministers bring the Eucharist to the sick in various places in the parish, but they also assist in the liturgical administration, often times assisting in the distribution of Holy Communion under the form of bread or under the form of wine.
