How You Can Help the Ministry to the Sick

Following is information to help you discern whether joining the Ministry to the Sick is the volunteer service for you.

ACTIVITIES/FUNCTIONS

·  Ministers are commissioned in the name of Christ and his Church. We are sent by the parish as a living witness that the assembly of the faithful has not forgotten those who are unable to be present at Mass because of sickness, infirmity or suffering. We are a sign that Christ is and wants to be with them and draw them into conscious communion with the whole body of Christ. 

·   Ministers are a spokesperson of the church when they visit and give Holy Communion to those who suffer. We pray with them as a representative of Christ living in the church who offers the strengthening power of prayer.
