Caring for the Homebound

St. John Paul the Great stated: "The name 'Good Samaritan' fits every individual who is sensitive to the sufferings of others and who is moved by the misfortune of another."

Our parish provides the mission statement of our ministry to the homebound, "We must never pass by on the other side indifferently; we must stop beside him."

Our response to the call of that mission has meant that between July 1, 2023, up to June 30, 2024, we made 212 visits to bring holy Communion to the sick and homebound, and made 47 nursing home visits. We also made 132 phone calls to the homebound when personal visits were not possible.

Our ministry impels us to provide sacramental, spiritual and charitable forms of service to our sick. The ministry is a vibrant part of our parish. Please do not hesitate to contact our parish office if you, a family member or a neighbor are in need of a visit from one of our priests or would like a Eucharistic minister to bring you holy Communion.

A Mass of Healing is celebrated at St. Peter Church on most first Fridays. Our parish Mass schedule is updated regularly. 

It is a parish responsibility to care for our sick and aging brothers and sisters in Christ. Contact Mary Ann Seiser at 860-482-4433 for more information.
