@elimar, as far as I could check English website, it is not the priest himself, but only a priest assistant; see, e.g., http://www.stmary1-ccm.com/VolunteersMinistriesAtMass.htm

Please give some context. IMO it should be not only a helper but the Priest who is ordained to perform the Eucharisic Service.
