Ministry to the Sick / Homebound

Mission/ Purpose:

We are an outreach ministry whose mission is to bring Jesus in the Holy Eucharist to you in your home. In an effort to keep our community of faith connected, we minister to our parishioners who cannot attend Mass or receive the Eucharist due to illness or disability. Our ministers visit once a week at a time that fits your schedule. We bring the blessings of our family of faith and a prayer service with Holy Communion. We package this into a visit from one of our friendly ministers to brighten your day.
 

Responsibilites & Schedule:

Each minister typically serves once a month, bringing the Eucharist to 4 -5 people. These visits are scheduled at the convenience of the person we serve and usually fit into our own personal schedules without creating a problem. Our Schedule is flexible and available for an entire year, so that vacations and necessary appointments can be scheduled. Ministers are great about trading dates to accommodate each other. Our Ministry meets only 3 times per year on the 2nd Thursday of February, June, and October at 2pm in the Guadalupe Room on main campus.

Get Involved:

So many of our ministers say they get so much more out of their visits than they give. It is a blessing and an inspiration to be able to witness the faith and devotion of the people we serve, our "flock". We are an accommodating and friendly group and very willing to teach you to how to become one of us. If you are not already an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, we can train you and then be with you on visits until you are ready to make visits by yourself. Join us, come and see!
