The ministry to the aged and homebound is a vital part of our parish life, as the people who are served are themselves vital to our identity as a family in Christ. As part of this ministry, the Sacrament of the Eucharist is made available and visiting time is spent with someone who may enjoy a visit. Are you, or someone you know unable to get out of the house easily? Is there someone you know who has become seriously ill? Contact the parish office at 508-755-0408 so that visits can be set up.
