Join us on for a conversation for those who bring Holy Communion to the sick and/or homebound on August 24, 2019 at 9 AM at The Catholic Center.
All are welcome to attend. After morning hospitality and an opening prayer, our conversation will include:
• Best practices for those who bring Holy Communion to the sick and/or homebound
• Formation requirements
• Connecting patients to the parish
• HIPPA guidelines
All who attend will receive a 2019-2020 copy of The Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound, the essential resource for lay ministers of care, especially Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. This portable, annual resource has been updated to include all the official rites a lay minister will need from the Book of Blessings and Pastoral Care of the Sick: Rites of Anointing and Viaticum to bring Holy Communion, as well as to pray and share the Gospel with, those who cannot regularly worship with their parish community.
