Holy Eucharist to the Sick & Homebound
The Church strives to provide a heart of service inclined to those who may be unable to provide for themselves, including time with Jesus. Our parish provides specific training for you-and is a great ministry for couples, individuals, and families. Any friendly face representing a caring heart is welcome to our Homebound residents. You will have roughly 4-6 visits per 3-month scheduling period.
If you have ever felt called to assist in bringing Jesus to our Homebound parishioners, please contact Lailee LabBarbera for more information.
"Wisdom of the Heart means being with our brothers and sisters. Time spent with the sick is holy time. It is a way of praising God who conforms us to the image of His Son, who [...] himself said: 'I am among you as the one who serves' (Lk 22:27)"
-Pope Francis, 2015 World Day of the Sick
Friendly Visitors
Make seasonal or occasional visits to our homebound parishioners, to deliver gifts at holidays or simply to visit during a social event at their assisted-living facility. Commitment is individual-driven, but for initial ideas and information, contact your pastor or parish office. Great for individuals and families. Great idea for vacations from school, service hours, or for young ones wishing to share their coloring pages.
