Mass Preferences

EM Outreach Ministry (Communion to the Homebound)

Holy Communion to the Homebound is a special ministry that brings the healing presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist to the sick and an opportunity to make a heart-warming difference in the lives of parish members unable to leave their homes. We ask all Extraordinary Ministers to prayerfully consider serving in this capacity since we are a large parish with many in need of this service but with few who answer the call to serving the sick.

"I was sick and you visited Me,...Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to Me." Matt 25:36,40.
I would like to bring Eucharist to one or two homebound parishioners after Sunday Mass. I am available after the following Mass: REQUIRED 5:00 PM 7:30 AM 9:00 AM 10:30 AM 12:15 PM I am not able to minister to the homebound at this time Please fill out this field.
I would prefer to do this Every Sunday (or Sat.) Every other Sunday (or Sat.) Once a month

Thank You and Bless You!
