July 3 & 4: Communion for Homebound Resumes

This is for those that are currently commissioned as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs) and are planning to take the Blessed Sacrament directly to the homebound for whom they serve following Mass. Prior to Mass the EMHC should bring their pyx to the Mass Coordinator so that it can be placed on the tray with the number of hosts that you require. As a reminder, after receive the pyx from the Priest, it is to be placed immediately into a burse which is then to be placed around the EMHC’s neck. The pyx, while containing the Blessed Sacrament, is never to be carried in a pocket or in a purse. If you are in need of a pyx and/or burse, please contact Deacon Phil at the Pastoral Office. (Please note that the term for commissioned EMHCs that was to expire this month has been extended by Bishop Thomas until Corpus Christi Sunday, June 19, 2022.) If you are an EMHC and are interested in taking Communion to the homebound or to those in nursing homes or the hospital, please contact Deacon Phil.
