Pastoral Care Eucharistic Minister to the Home Bound

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs) to the Homebound are adult parishioners have been commissioned and trained to bring Communion to parishioners in our local community, who are unable to attend Mass but wish to receive the Holy Eucharist.  This ministry is a special combination of the ministry of hospitality and the Eucharistic Ministry. A Homebound Minister represents the parish by bringing the “Community gathered to celebrate Christ’s presence” to those who are physically unable to assemble with the congregation.
Ministers to the Homebound visit sick parishioners in their homes and by sharing a Scripture reading and distributing the Eucharist.  They may act as links to the parish assembly by bringing a parish bulletin, parish news, and concerns.  Normally the volunteer visit the homebound once a week.
