St.
Joseph Ministry to the Homebound
|
Inspiration:
I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to me will never be hungry.
He who believes in me will never thirst. Anyone who does
eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life and I will
raise him up on the last day. (John
6:13,54)
If any one of you is in trouble he should pray; If anyone is
happy he should praise God. If anyone is ill he should send for
the elders of the church and they must anoint him with oil in
the name of the Lord and pray over him. (James 5:14)

Our Mission:
As ministers of the Holy Eucharist to the homebound, we are to
bring Jesus to the person through love, Eucharist, Scripture,
prayer, and emotional and spiritual support. We remind them that
they are part of the St. Joseph community and lots of people are
praying for them.

Our Members:
Our members are adult parishioners who have discerned Jesus call
in their heart to visit the homebound (any age), to bring them

the Blessed Sacrament.
We have six ministers working in our parish. Training is
provided by Nancy Miller at the parish and by attending
workshops sponsored by the diocese.
