• 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. 
• For all your needs, please call or email us. If you do not hear from us soon, please email or call us again during office hours.

Saturday: 3.30pm-4.30pm, or by appointment

Anointing of the Sick or Last Rites
If someone is having serious (grave) illness or is weakened by age and is in danger of death, or is preparing for a major surgery, and needs the sacrament, or is entering into hospice care, please call or email the office; or talk to the priest/staff in person after mass. Please don't wait until the last minute. If a parishioner dies, likewise please notify us immediately before making any funeral plans.
