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. 

Due to the current pandemic, Homebound Communion remains suspended for any of the Faithful until further notice. 

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.

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.
