Communion to the Sick and Homebound
-
What We Do
Volunteers: To visit and take Communion to the sick/homebound parishioners in nursing homes, retirement villages and private homes. To visit and distribute Communion to hospitals as assigned by the Diocesan Officer or as requested by the Chaplain’s office at a specific hospital.
Commitment: To bring Communion to an assigned Communion recipient once a week. The day to which you bring Communion is decided on between the recipient and the Communion Minister. Depending on each person, it can be a short or a long-term period of ministering. Visitation at the hospitals can vary in the number of patients each week and can take 45 minutes to one and a half hours. To attend a short training session to learn and prepare oneself to bring the Eucharist to the sick/homebound.
