POLICIES FOR DISTRIBUTION OF HOLY COMMUNION TO THE SICK

Individuals who desire to take Holy Communion to the Sick are asked to stop by the office during office hours (9 am – 3:30 pm) during the week to pick up the key for the tabernacle in the adoration chapel.  Once you get the Blessed Sacrament please return the tabernacle key to the office.  If the office is closed for a holiday or closes earlier because of weather you will need to reschedule your visit.  Changes to the office hours will be posted in the bulletin and any last minute schedule changes will be listed on the website.

All Extraordinary Ministers are to go directly from the chapel to the individual(s) they will be visiting.  Extraordinary Ministers are not allowed to pick up the Blessed Sacrament and go shopping or out to eat.  Please make sure you confer with the person you are visiting before heading out that way one doesn’t make a wasted trip.  Extra hosts are to be returned to the tabernacle following your visit.  

For those who would like to make a evening visit please see Father Carroll before or after the Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 5:15 pm Mass.  In the event you have extra hosts after you conclude your visits the Blessed Sacrament must be returned to the tabernacle, in the most extreme case after the office is closed or late in the evening the Extraordinary Minister may reverently consume the remaining hosts at their last visit…but again this should be an extreme case for it is important to call and confirm your visitation before picking up the Eucharist.
