Did you know? Our parish has an active Communion to the
Shut-Ins ministry. If you have a loved one that is homebound, or a
resident at an assisted living center or nursing home, or in the
hospital, we have wonderful, caring Eucharist ministers who will bring
them Communion - generally each week. Just phone the parish office
during the week at 340-0691 and let them know. |
