Communion to the Sick &/or Homebound

I was sick and you visited me.
Matthew 25:36

In receiving the body and blood of Christ,
the sick are united sacramentally to the Lord and are reunited
with the Eucharistic community from which illness has separated them. 
Pastoral Care of the Sick #51

Lay Extraordinary Ministers of Communion take communion to those members of the parish who are unable to be present at the celebration of the Eucharist: the ill, the elderly, the housebound, and those in hospitals or nursing homes, ‘so that the faithful may not be deprived of this sacramental help and consolation’.

For the sick, the reception of communion is not only a privilege but also a sign of the support and concern of their fellow members of the Body of Christ.

The visitation to the sick and/or homebound will be scheduled in advance. We invite family members and/or others to be present.

To request a visitation, please contact the Admin Centreor complete the online request form.
