• What We Do
  We visit, offer spiritual and emotional support and bring Holy Communion to parishioners who are ill, invalid, elderly or are otherwise  unable to attend mass. This ministry is an important aspect of the sacramental life of our parish. This is especially true in light of the fact that there is an unusually large number of elderly members in the parish – some homebound, others in rest homes or hospitals. This ministry requires many dedicated volunteers who are committed to the service of the Church and who are willing to administer the rite of ordinary "communion visits" to shut-ins.

  
  In addition to providing Communion when requested, it is the responsibility of these dedicated ministers to inform the parish priests concerning the other sacramental needs of the sick, e.g., Anointing, Reconciliation, etc.
  From time to time, the priests arrange for the celebration of the mass and communal Anointing of the Sick at the nursing homes.
