We bring the Eucharist to those who are unable to attend Mass due to illness or disability. These teams of ministers visit parishioners, who are homebound or in the hospital as well as those in assisted living communities and nursing homes. Training is provided. Safe Environment clearance is required. Join us in this rewarding ministry.
Parish members in the hospital or homebound who wish to receive Communion can contact the Extraordinary Ministers of Communion to the Sick. To make arrangements call the Parish Center at (972) 540-7170 Ext. 411 and leave a message including a contact name and number.
