Apparently, in 1971 in the United States. There were women in this ministry from the beginning.

And remember, it is Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.
The ordinary Eucharistic Minister is the bishop/priest/deacon (source: USCCB). So you can’t have a lay person who is a ‘Eucharistic Minister/of Holy Communion’, and don’t trust WIKI.
Of course, you get certain parishes where everything is ‘ministry’ and they will (and have for eons) call it “Eucharistic Minister” (mine does this in AD 2018 despite the USCCB etc), but it is Extraordinary. The more people say the correct term, the more likely that the incorrect use will fade and disappear. . .

I am sorry, but my parish only believes in Eucharist not Extraordinary Ministers. I have no hope of them ever getting it correct, but maybe if I pray more they will get it correct.

Is that when EMHCs first started? It seemed later than that.
