Communion for the sick
The Lord sustains them on their sickbeds and restores them from their bed of illness. - Psalm 41:3
Sometimes Catholics are unable to come to Mass because of illness or because they are homebound for one reason or another. This does not mean they have to miss out on receiving Communion. Priests or lay ministers can visit the sick and homebound to give Holy Communion to them. The sick person who receives Communion this way is sharing in the Eucharistic meal of the whole parish community.
A friend or family member trained in Communion for the Sick may attend Mass and deliver it to you. Alternatively you are welcome to call the parish office on (07) 3355 3690 and we can arrange Communion for the Sick for your loved one.
