Communion Ministers to the Homebound Needed

“They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.” Acts: 2: 42
This description of the early Christian community beautifully captures how the earliest followers of Jesus tried to live their faith after his resurrection.  The pandemic has unfortunately prevented many members of our Saint Peter's parish community from participating in our Sunday celebration of the Eucharist.  While many watch mass on line, they cannot receive the Bread of Life.  The Second Vatican Council document, Lumen Gentium, proclaims the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian life."
We want to reach out to those who cannot celebrate with the community at our Sunday liturgy and would like to receive Holy Communion in their homes.  To do that, we need help.  If you are currently a Eucharistic minister or a parishioner who would like to engage in this ministry, we will provide training to help you safely and respectfully bring communion to our homebound parishioners.  As you prayerfully consider this call to ministry, please evaluate whether you are healthy enough and feel comfortable with bringing the Eucharist to parishioners' homes.
If you are interested in being a Eucharistic minister to the homebound, or have any questions, please feel free to call Deacon Ed at the parish office 518-584-2375 or email him at deaconed@stpetersaratoga.org .
