“The faithful who are ill are deprived of their rightful and accustomed place in the Eucharistic
community. In bringing communion to them the minister of communion represents Christ and
manifests faith and charity on behalf of the whole community toward those who cannot be present
at the Eucharist. For the sick the reception of communion is not only a privilege but also a sign of
support and concern shown by the Christian community for its members who are ill” (Pastoral
Care of the Sick: Rite of Anointing and Viaticum, 73).
If you are home bound or living in a nursing facility and would like to receive Holy Communion, please contact Deacon Ed for more information 440-234-6830 ext 104
