The Eucharistic Ministry to the Homebound & Sick provides Eucharistic visitation to those unable to attend Mass, such as the homebound, nursing home residents, and those who are hospitalized or in hospice.

A homebound parishioner is someone who is unable to attend Mass because of an illness, physical impairment, hospice care, etc.
