This ministry is dedicated to visiting the sick and elderly of the community to bring them communion, as long as they cannot attend the Eucharistic celebration in the church; and attend to any pastoral need.
Candidates to study at the Carolina Vicarage are referred annually. These study a year and at the end of this they take a retreat, including, those who have been installed previously. Once installed, they must deliver a copy to the Parish Office of the certificate that authorizes them to offer this ministry.
Talks are held on different topics related to the ministry such as: Talks on the sacrament of Baptism, Eucharist; offer Liturgy of the Word and / or Rosaries in funeral homes or residences, attend weekend Masses to distribute communion and / or Altar Servers.
We meet monthly, on the last Wednesday of each month, to review how home visits and attendance at weekend Masses are being conducted according to a pre-approved listing.
We have 9 active Extraordinary Ministers and 5 Candidates who will be installed on June 4, 2015. During the month of May they will have: May 16 retreat and Thanksgiving mass on May 20, 2015 in the Santo Cristo de los Milagros Parish .
