They also may distribute Holy Communion to the homebound and those individuals temporarily or permanently in adult care facilities, nursing homes, and local hospitals. Adults & Young People, Age 16 and above interested in serving must participate in interview, selection process, diocesan and parish training prior to being commissioned and assigned in this parish ministry.
