Ministry of Care

Share the Love of Jesus

Ministers of Care are commissioned Extraordinary Ministers of Communion who extend Christ’s presence beyond the walls of the church by bringing the sacramental presence of Christ to those who cannot join the parish for worship, especially the sick and elderly in hospitals, nursing homes, those who are homebound.

At St. John of the Cross Parish, Ministers of Care bring Holy Communion, pray with and visit elderly or ill parishioners in their homes. Home visits are arranged on a weekly basis at a time that is convenient for both the homebound patient and the minister.

Ministers of Care may also serve at LaGrange Hospital and RML Specialty Hospital. Ministers are scheduled according to their availability.

If you or a loved one would like a Minister of Care to visit please contact Deacon Rich Voytas at the Parish Center Office.
