• Ministry to homebound: if you have a friend or loved one who is sick and needs communion, please inform the priest or the sacristan. Don’t ask for communion to be placed in a pyx for you while you are in line for communion, ministers at OLS are not allowed to do that. Talk with the priest/sacristan before or after mass if someone needs communion. Only approved parish ministers to the homebound are allowed to take communion to the sick.
