Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
If ordinary ministers of Holy Communion are not present, "the priest may call upon extraordinary ministers to assist him, i.e., duly instituted acolytes or even other faithful who have been deputed for this purpose. In case of necessity, the priest may also depute suitable faithful for this single occasion (GIRM 162)."

Readers
According to the ancient tradition and the teaching of the Church, the readings other than the Gospel are proclaimed by lectors or lay ministers called readers. Readers are those members of the laity who proclaim the scriptures in the liturgy.

Lay Ministers of Prayer
Our cluster is fortunate to have certified Lay Ministers of Prayer. "In the absence of both a priest and a deacon, upon the request and recommendation of the pastor, the bishop is to appoint persons, lay or religious, who are to be entrusted with the care of leading celebrations, namely, with leading the prayers, with the ministry of the word, and when it is to be included in the celebration, with giving holy communion."
