This is a ministry to the homebound or those confined to a nursing home that may include former parishioners in retirement homes. Eucharistic Ministers take Holy Communion to the homebound at their own convenience or that of the homebound.
There are some parishioners who just visit those who cannot get to Mass. Two Masses a year are offered especially for the sick of our parish. Those who are homebound are called to see if they want to attend and if they need transportation. A simple luncheon is served afterwards. In addition to those bringing the Eucharist, this ministry would include regular visits, and/or calls to the homebound.
If someone is hospitalized and would like a prayerful visit, this ministry is ready to oblige.
