We are Franciscans of the Eucharist, guess what our main concern is?

Yes, for sure, the Eucharist

Do you know that you do not need to attend Mass to have communion?

You do not need to be present at church to receive Holy Communion. As a chaplain, my key mission is to ensure that anyone who wishes to receive the Body of Christ can do so, wherever they are. The Eucharist can be brought directly to you, no matter where you are.

If you are in the hospital, living in a seniors’ residence, or find yourself somewhere where it is impossible to go to church, you are not forgotten. As a chaplain, I am committed to bringing the Host to you, wherever you are. The Church recognizes that illness, advanced age, or other circumstances can prevent people from physically attending Mass. That is why we have the ministry of bringing Holy Communion to the sick and homebound; it is a way to keep you connected to your faith and the wider Church community.

Receiving the Eucharist is a source of spiritual strength, comfort, and grace. If you or a loved one finds it difficult or impossible to attend Mass, please remember: you are still part of the Church, and the Eucharist can come to you. Do not hesitate to reach out so that you can continue to experience the presence of Christ in your life, no matter where you are.

This ministry shows that God’s love meets you wherever you are. If you wish to receive Holy Communion but cannot attend church, I am here to serve you. Please let me know.
