Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion
There are several people in our parish that want to attend mass; but, for reasons of health and frailty cannot physically be here with us. Holy Family established this ministry to address this issue and provide the comfort, care, and participation these good Catholics need. It is an opportunity that works in both directions. The homebound parishioners receive Holy Communion and those of us that participate receive the ineffable gift that simply doing God’s work provides.
Each minister is assigned 8-10 patients. We are often the only visitors these gentle patients have and the anticipation and pleasure they take in our ministry is the gift we receive for a simple act of mercy.
Wednesday mornings after 8:30 a.m. Mass, we take Holy Communion to Catholic patients at the center. It is a delightful way to serve God and create enduring friendships.
We invite you to join our group, you will be glad that you made the commitment, without a doubt.
