The Eucharistic Visitors Ministry is a vital step in helping embody and emphasize the reality of the church as community. Eucharistic Visitors are an important pastoral and sacramental expression of that community. They are living reminders that the sick and infirm are integral parts of the church community which is the Body of Christ. They also bring the sacramental gift of Christ's body and blood, the symbol of the eucharist which unites us with him.
In 2005, the Eucharistic Visitors Ministry team averaged 3-4 visits per week, providing infirmed members of our parish the gifts of the eucharist, fellowship, prayer support, a listening ear, a caring heart, and a connection to the church community. Team members remain dedicated to our mission of providing a ministry of presence, healing, and hope.
