The Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion bring the comfort of Christ in the form of the Eucharist to those who cannot come to church. We bring the Church to people who cannot physically come to church. In this way, the sick and homebound are 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. Our call as Ministers to the Sick is to be present to the patients 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. The minister needs to be a baptized Catholic and who participates in weekly mass, communion services, and personal prayer.
