Ministry to the Sick

St. Michael’s ministry to the sick offers compassionate care and encourages a sense of belonging and connection to the Body of Christ through Eucharist and the people of God.
To notify us of someone in the parish who is sick, please follow these procedures:

• Call the Pastoral Office if the sick person needs to be visited by a priest.

• You will be asked a few important questions by the staff person who answers your call, as a form must be filled out. Hospital? Home? Communion? Person’s home address and phone? Parishioner or not? Elderly? Included on prayer chain?

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the Homebound visit those who are unable to attend Mass due to a variety of reasons; most especially due to poor health, advanced age or following surgery.  They are also a gentle weekly presence in our local care facilities to conduct Word & Communion Services, lead the Rosary, and attend to other ongoing pastoral care needs.  If you or a loved one is unable to attend Mass and would like to receive Communion or if you would like to be an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion to the Homebound, please contact Jennifer Schneider.
