Holy Communion to the homebound: I love to see people taking Jesus in Holy Communion to those who are unable to attend Mass because of sickness or other limitations. Just the same, the Church requires that you be officially commissioned as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion before this is allowed. You’re not in trouble if you’ve been doing this without the simple training, but I would like to make this right. For those who would like to take Holy Communion to their spouse or some other loved one but have not been commissioned (i.e. we have a short training class and your names are sent for formal approval by Bishop Callahan), please call the office by February 19th and I will set a time for you to be commissioned. Thank you!
