EMHC to the sick and homebound

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the Sick and Homebound is a ministry dedicated to bringing the Eucharist to those who cannot attend Sunday Mass for a period of time due to age, serious illness, or long-term recovery from surgery.  Our ministers visit assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and individuals who are unable to leave their homes due to poor or compromised health. 

To become an Extraordinatory Minister of Holy Communion to the Sick and Homebound, interested persons must be at least 18 years old and a Catholic in good standing with the Church who has received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. 

Requirements include being a registered parishioner at St. Thomas More, attending a training session, and being commissioned as an EMHC. 
All ministers must be Ethics and Integrity in Ministry certified.

A training for Homebound ministers will be on
Monday, July 26 at 11:00 am
in the Lifehouse. 

We always need dedicated people to bring the Eucharist to those who are separated from our Community and cannot attend Sunday Mass for a lengthy period of time.  If you are interested in becoming an EMHC to the Sick and Homebound, please contact the Liturgy Director.

Homebound Communion is resuming for those who are confined to their homes due to long-term illness or disability or a lengthy recovery from surgery. Please contact the Liturgy Director for more information.
