I wish I knew how old you were but if I read you correctly, you are in disagreement with the Holy Communion being distributed by church volunteers instead of being done by the priest.
When I attended church many years ago, this practice occurred only on very busy occasions such as Christmas,Easter or during sacraments such as Baptisms or Confirmations.It was done simply to speed up the process. I don't see why or how this should offend you although I admit to having wondered the same thing back then.
If you value the Holy Eucharist for what it represents, you should not be concerned with WHO presents it to you. Remember that Holy Eucharists can be self-administered. Sick Roman Catholics that are unable to attend Church services are offered small quantities of blessed hosts that they can consume at their discretion.
In the end, it really isn't about the "how" . It's about the "what"
Don't let this practice influence your adherence to your Church. Look at the BIG picture.
