Eucharistic Ministers to the Sick

Ministry to the Sick and Homebound is a ministry founded in the Church’s rich tradition of pastoral care.  The possibility and purpose of this ministry is precisely because “it is proper that those who are prevented from being present at the community’s celebration should be refreshed with the eucharist.  In this way they may realize that they are united not only with the Lord’s sacrifice but also with the community itself and are supported by the love of their brothers and sisters” (Holy Communion Outside Mass, General Introduction #14).

It is a means to extend the healing hand of Christ by way of reach out to those who are unable to participate in the life of the Church, particularly the Eucharist/Mass for the reason of hospitalization, suffering from the effects of illness, disability or the aging process. Our Mission is to identify and reach out to the sick and homebound of our Parish, to visit them, to pray with them and to bring the Eucharist to them, and at the same time, to foster a connection between them and the faith community of Blessed Frédéric Ozanam Parish.

We are always looking for new members to be a part of this wonderful ministry. If you are interested in joining, or if you would like more information, please contact:
