I'm using Hirmos Ponomar, which is a font we have designed for working
with modern Church Slavonic. It is entirely in Unicode.
See here: http://www.ponomar.net/cu_support.html for the font and the
documentation.

Feel free to contact me off list if you have questions.

Don't know anything about Minion. What kind of text are you trying to
typeset? There's also Old Standard by Alexey Kryukov which works well
in XeTeX, depending on your needs:
