“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.”
- John 6:51
Parishioners who are ill or unable to leave their home are deprived of their rightful and accustomed place in the Eucharistic community. In bringing communion to these parishioners, Communion for the Homebound represents Christ and manifests faith and charity on behalf of the whole community toward those who cannot be present at the Eucharist. For the sick the reception of communion is not only a privilege but also a sign of support and concern shown by the Christian community for its members who are ill.
Having a relationship with the person you visit is a key factor. Eucharistic ministers volunteer to visit homebound parishioners and brighten their day by bringing communion and praying with them when they are unable to attend weekly mass. Volunteers set up their own schedules to visit at a time that works for the homebound as well as the Eucharistic Minister.
