Coordinator: Rob Strouse

Eucharistic ministers to the homebound take the Eucharist to those who are unable to join us at Mass due to surgery, illness, mobility problems or the debility of advancing age, for a short time during recovery or on a permanent basis. Eucharistic ministers to the homebound also share the caring and support of the parish with those they visit. Please contact Deacon Rob Strouse or the parish office at 517-669-8335, to request a visit from one of our ministers or to volunteer to serve the parish as a Eucharistic Minister to the homebound. Training for Eucharistic Ministers to the homebound can be arranged with Deacon Rob Strouse at your convenience. Click here to volunteer. Click here to volunteer.

If you know you will be admitted to the hospital for an illness or upcoming surgery, please contact us and let us know so that we can put you on our visitation list. Also make sure that the hospital you will be admitted to has entered your religion on their admissions form so that local Eucharistic Ministers will be able to provide you with Holy Communion during your stay. Most of the time, we know well in advance from our physician/surgeon when we will be admitted to the hospital for a routine procedure or scheduled surgery. If that is the case, keep in mind that we offer the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick every third weekend of the month after all the Masses; but please know you may ask the priest for an anointing of this blessed Sacrament at any time prior to going into the hospital. Also if you so wish we will add you to our bulletin so that the people of the parish may remember you in their prayers (but we only add those names where we have permission to do so).

If someone you know has been taken to the hospital due to an emergency; especially one that is a life & death crisis, please let us know as well. After normal business hours, you may contact us through our
Emergency Phone (517) 803-0911

The Prayer Shawl and Quilt Miniistry

These ministry makes special shawls and quilts that are blessed by the members of the ministry to be given to anyone who is ill or having surgery.  They are given for other purposes but illness and surgery are some of the most common reasons to give a prayer shawl or prayer quilt.  If you know someone who is ill or having surgery or recovering, please contact Terry Humenik, Terry Angwin or Jackie Urbain to obtain one to give to the person.  You may take the shawl or quilt to the recipient or we can deliver it.  The recipient does not need to be Catholic of a member of the parish.  God's love, mercy and compassion is meant for everyone. 

Anyone interested in participating or requesting a prayer shawl or prayer quilt may call Jackie Urbain at (517) 669-5060 or Terry Angwin (517) 669-9745.
