communion to the sick and home bound

This Ministry is a link between Presentation and parishioners who are home bound or infirm. Men and women of the parish minister to their brothers and sisters in Christ who cannot participate in person, either for a short time or on a long-term basis. This ministry includes bringing the Eucharist and sharing the Word, visiting, listening, and being present when someone is in need of support and comfort. Parishioners who have received the sacraments of Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation are encouraged to be part of this vital service to our extended community. All parishioners can be part of this ministry by their faithful support through prayer. Friends, neighbors, or family members of those who would benefit from this ministry are encouraged to call.
