"Because the sick are prevented from celebrating the eucharist with the rest of the community, the most important visits are those during which they receive holy communion. In receiving the body and blood of Christ, the sick are united sacramentally to the Lord and are reunited with the eucharistic community from which illness has separated them."
(from the RITE OF PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK)

In order to minister to the needs of the sick and those homebound through injury, our parish has wonderful Ministers of Communion that visit those who cannot attend Mass and receive the Sacraments. If you or someone you know would like to receive the Eucharist while at home, or maybe in an extended-care (nursing) facility, please contact the church office at
325-7549.

Remember - this is not just for those with terminal or long-term illness. We would also love to serve those who are at home due to a short-term injury or illness.
