The Ministry of the Sick and Home Bound serves the sick in two ways. First, all sick and home bound parishioners are included in the daily prayers of the priests and deacons of our parish. Secondly, those who wish to be are included in the Home visitation program. It is the visitation program the serves Christ’s himself by nourishing those in poor health with the Holy Eucharist during their illness.
The priests visit the sick at home on First Friday’s to distribute the Holy Eucharist and give the sick and home bound the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, make monthly, bi-monthly and weekly visits to sick and home bound parishioners, at home, in nursing homes, hospice centers and the hospitals.
If you would like more information or would like to have someone included in this Ministry please contact parish office: 908-352-2791 or Drew Swider.
