Communion to the Homebound
As your deacon, I help organize parishioners who bring Holy Communion to the homebound. This ministry is growing; we now serve more than 15 parishioners, either in their homes or at the Waters retirement community.
I’m also aware that a few parishioners bring Communion, perhaps to a sick family member or friend, on an ad hoc basis—a great work of mercy. Our entire Holy Spirit community is grateful to you!
What you may not know is that in 2024, the Church revised the ritual and prayers that accompany visits to the homebound. Fr. Tom and I want to bring regularity to this ministry. If you were not trained and officially commissioned at Holy Spirit in October 2024, please:
Contact me as soon as possible at (651) 366-0908 so our team knows who you are bringing Communion to. (This also helps if the person you are visiting needs Anointing of the Sick at some point.)
Join me for a 30-minute updated training and official commissioning in early 2026 (date TBD) to learn the new prayers.
Again, Fr. Tom and I are grateful for your ministry. I am excited to spend time with you and support you in this great work of mercy.
