Ministry to the Sick

The Homebound and
 Nursing Home Ministry

The General Introduction of the Pastoral Care of the Sick reminds us that suffering and illness are part of the human condition and being a Christian does not spare us of these experiences. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are called in a special way to minister to those of our community who are sick or are homebound either due to illness or old age and cannot attend Mass.
In addition, they minister to the faithful who are in nursing homes or in the local hospital.

An Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion is a tangible link between the parish’s celebration of the Eucharist and the communion of the sick or homebound. He or she reminds them of their union with Christ in his struggle with evil, his prayer for the world, his love of the Father, and their own union with the community from which they are separated. Theirs is a ministry that fulfills Christ’s command to visit the sick and to be concerned about their bodily and spiritual welfare.

Those who are called to this ministry will be trained in the Rite for taking Holy Communion to the Sick and given the necessary resources.

NURSING HOME & HOMEBOUND TRAINING

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs) serving in this ministry bring the Eucharist to parishioners who are unable to attend Mass due to illness or physical or mental limitations. This includes those residing in their own homes, nursing homes, or hospitals.
 
If you feel called to serve the sick and homebound, join us for training with Fr. Jose on June 16, 2025 at 6:30 PM in the FLC Auditorium.

If you are interested, please call: Sr. Lucy at (281) 391-4758 ext. 461 or [email protected].
