Down at the Church
I'm looking into becoming a Eucharistic Minister at my church.
1) This ministry is now under the direction of the most conservative (legalistic, I want to say) priest there.
2) There is a dress code, and I shall have to scrounge up non-tight dress slacks, and/or skirts that fall below my knees.
3) It is hyper-Catholic, and involves all kinds of arcane terminology.
4) I'll have to learn to genuflect properly.
In short, I'm scared shitless. I'm very likely doing the right thing.

No.
But hey, maybe that's just me.

Look up "Eucharist Minister" in the Bible. If you don't find it, don't go for it, because you probably won't be doing anyone any good.

Go for it!
It isn't "hyper-Catholic," just Catholic--just like you agreed.
Isn't it time to commit fully?
Know how many people in times past would have given anything to get the chance you have been given? For centuries, you would have had to have been ordained to handle the Body and Blood of Christ. A lot of people missed that opportunity! Certain roles carry certain responsibilities, and appropriate dress and demeanor certainly are a part of that equation. Besides, you get to shop for clothes, as your bonus!
Just like in the Bible!
Where it says "Do this in remembrance of Me..."
P.S. I would think that LMA was made to genuflect--Built close to the ground with lightening reflexes. Am I missing something?

Ah--so I just think of it as a form of T'ai Chi, and I'll be fine
It turns out I do indeed have skirts that fall below my knees.
