According to Sioux City Diocesan policy, ALL EMHCs must be instructed and recommissioned every three years. This year all our certificates expired on June 2; therefore, ALL EMHCs must go through a training and be commissioned. If you have been an EMHC for weekends, daily holy days, school or PREP Masses, and/or for the homebound, nursing home, hospital, prison ministry, etc., you MUST be retrained and commissioned.
