Extraordinary Ministers of Eucharist to the Sick
Ministers of Care bring Holy Communion to parishioners who are homebound, living in nursing homes or hospitals. They share the word of God in scripture, join in prayer and offer companionship. Through the Ministry of Care, we strive to keep long-time parishioners of OLPH connected and active in our faith community.This Ministry is open to all members of our parish community.
Training Session Begins Soon
A training course for new Ministers of Care will begin Wednesday, September 27 and continue for five successive Wednesday evenings. Each session focuses on a specifi c aspect of the Ministry of Care; however, the unifying thread woven through all is a commitment to helping you develop the skills and confi dence needed to be a source of comfort to those who are sick. Each weekly session is two hours and will be facilitated by Rick Nash, as well as retired priests from Presence St. Benedict Home. Completion of this course qualifi es you to receive the Archdiocesan mandate to bring Communion to the sick, homebound and hospitalized of our parish.
