Ministers of Care

Ministry of Care to the sick (Communion to the Homebound) is a pastoral ministry of caring for those who are hospitalized, in nursing homes, or confined to private homes. Ministers are trained and formed to conduct pastoral visits with time to listen and pray about the concerns of the sick or shut-in person and to share Eucharist with them. These visits bring the parish life to the lives of the homebound. 

SCHEDULE
The Ministers of Care must attend our 9:00am Mass in order to receive the communion they will be taking to the homebound. Ministers of Care visits are currently on the first and third Sundays of the month.
