Visitation of the Sick - Communion Calls

Each Sunday, Eucharistic Ministers take the Holy Eucharist to the sick and homebound in our parish.  The priests of the parish visit once a month.  Please notify the rectory when a member of the parish is in the hospital or if someone is unable to attend church and wishes to receive Holy Communion or has need of the Sacrament of Anointing.
