Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the Sick & Homebound

"The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved."
- St. Teresa of Calcutta

Ministry to the Sick and Homebound


Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are needed to bring the Eucharist from the altar at Mass to those who are in hospitals, nursing homes, and are home bound. This service brings the Source and Summit of our faith to those unable to come to Mass, as well as a sense of love and dignity to those who may feel neglected.

  Aid the pastor by bringing Holy Communion to those unable to attend Mass at the Church

  Pray with those receiving the Eucharist


Time Commitment: Ministers are needed for a few hours on weekends.



Requirements:

  Must be a confirmed, practicing Catholic in good standing

  Must undergo Safe-Environment Training and a driving check

  Required training is done on a one-on-one basis
