Volunteers needed to take Communion to homebound after weekend masses

We have one volunteer to take communion to those unable to worship with us, however we need more. This “liturgical” ministry involves taking a pyx with a host from Saturday or Sunday Mass; visiting the person in their home; reading the gospel and sharing a sentence or two from the homily; praying the Lord’s Prayer together and then giving the Host to the person. Once we have a few volunteers for this ministry we will then invite people to request that visit. Last Sunday our first volunteer took communion from the 10:15 am Mass to a parishioner who is no longer able to physically come to Church. This ministry allows this parishioner to still feel a connection to the parish community. This is different from a pastoral visit in the middle of the week with a goodly amount of conversation in the visit. If you would like more information, please call John Riehle at the parish office.
