ALL ministers must have received the Sacraments of Initiation—Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.

To All current and new Eucharistic Ministers for the Homebound:
The love and care that is shown in each ministry helps to bring us all together as the Body of Christ. It is our hope that all of us can work together collaboratively to make our ministry evermore fruitful.
Extraordinary Ministers also visit those who are sick or home bound. Our parishioners who are ill are deprived of their rightful and accustomed place in the Eucharistic celebration. In serving them, a Minister of Communion represents Christ, and reflects faith and charity on behalf of our entire parish community toward those who cannot be present at the Eucharist. For the sick, receiving communion is a privilege, and serving them is a sign of support and concern by our community for our members who cannot join us in our weekly celebration. Please consider joining us in reaching out.
