Ministering to Homebound and Continuing Care facilities:
Those who volunteer as Extraordinary Ministers receive training for their respective area of ministry. We provide communion to the homebound of our own parish; and to Catholic residents in the Continuing Care facilities within our parish boundaries. The Assisted Care and Homebound ministries occur on a weekly basis. Two of the Assisted Care facilities have an Communion Service while in the third facility, we take communion to each individual in the Health Care Center of the facility. Below there is a video of the procedure for leading a Communion Service, and further training is available one-on-one to become more comfortable with this type of ministry leadership.
The Communion Ministry Schedule for the continuing care facilities is available here.
