St. Michael's Homebound Ministry
We are a small group of men and
women who are Extraordinary
Ministers of the Holy Eucharist
(formerly called Eucharistic
Ministers) and who are devoted
to bridging the gap between the
spiritual and physical aspects of
the Church and Catholics who are not able to attend mass. We recognize
the importance of providing that link to the Catholics we serve
and we have a long-term commitment to their spiritual lives and
to our mission.
We go to homes on a weekly basis to bring the Holy Eucharist to
the homebound. We are blessed with enough members to extend our
ministry to parish members who are unable to leave their homes
to attend mass.
We also hold weekly Communion services for about 70 individuals at the Cherry
Creek Nursing Center, Hospice of Metro Denver, Cherry Creek Retirement Village,
St. Andrews Village, and Beth Israel at Shalom Park retirement and nursing center.
We sing, read from the Scripture, pray, and share in the sacrament of the Holy
Eucharist. Once a month, Father Fox and Father Tran celebrate mass at Beth Israel
at Shalom Park and Cherry Creek Nursing Center, respectively. Our Ministry works
closely with the staff at each facility.
If you know of an individual who is homebound or living in a facility and who
would like to have a member of our ministry bring them Holy Communion, or if
you are interested in becoming a member of the ministry, please contact Jeanette
Jamieson at 303-690-4301.
