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 Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion to the Sick and Homebound, interested persons must be at least 18 years old, attend a training session, be commissioned as an EMHC, and be Ethics and Integrity in Ministry certified. 

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.

If you or a family member cannot attend Mass for a period of time and would like to receive the Eucharist, please contact the parish office (512) 258-1161.
