One of the important ministries of any parish is that of taking Communion to those who are homebound, hospitalized or in a long term care or rehab facility. Due to privacy policies, we are unable to obtain names of patients from those facilities. If we are not notified by our parishioner or their family, we are often times unaware of a parishioner’s illness and needs.
Please call our parish office if you or a family member will be unable to attend Mass for any length of time and would like a visit. A Deacon or a member of our Healing and Homebound Ministry would be happy to bring the Eucharist to you or your loved one.
