Visiting the infirmed and elderly parishioners of our community is an important aspect of parish life.  By engaging those who cannot physically come to church, we allow these persons to feel part of the Church. The purpose of this ministry is to allow the sick and homebound to feel united to the Body of Christ present in our community.  We continue the healing and compassionate ministry of Jesus, as members of His Body.  It is always in Jesus’ Name that we visit.

This is not a private but a public act of representing the Church as an institution and as a parish.

Our call as Ministers to the Sick is to be present to the person as they attempt to find God in their life situation, by listening to them. Christian presence is the gift we bring to the sick.  Confidentiality, respect of the patient, and acceptance of them for whom and where they are, are the gifts inherent in this presence.

If you are interested in assisting us in this ministry and would like to visit individuals who cannot join community liturgies or activities, please contact the Parish Office.
