Hospital Visitors Schedule for October & November

Happy Fall,

I hope this finds all of you in good health and enjoying a bit of fall weather. I want each of you to know how much you are appreciated and how important you are to all those who look forward to receiving the Eucharist while in the hospital.
 
I know many of us will be busy as the holidays approach with travel, cooking and shopping so please look over your days and if you need to make a change try to call and change with someone. If you know anyone interested in becoming a hospital Eucharistic Minister please have them contact me.

I wish you and your family a very blessed Thanksgiving holiday, enjoy your family.

God bless,
Phyllis

HOSPITAL VISITS MINISTRY

St. Thomas has a very active group of Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion who visit Memorial Hospital daily to bring the patients the Eucharist.  The best way to be sure someone in the hospital is being visited, when registering indicate they are Catholic and are from St. Thomas.  Sometimes, when admitted through the Emergency Room, the patient’s religious affiliation is not listed.  Verify with the Hospital Admissions Office that the above information is included.
 
To those who visit the sick in the hospital and homebound, thank you for this ministry.  It is so meaningful to those who are visited.  Some are struggling with serious health issues; some have minor setbacks—but all are grateful for receiving the healing power of Jesus.  It means so much to them to know that their church and their faith have reached out to them in their time of need.
 
As a reminder to those who visit the sick, please be respectful of the Eucharist.  Prepare your own soul with prayer and seek forgiveness of any wrongdoing; make sure your hands are clean as you administer the host; go directly from the church to the hospital or home; put the pyx in a safe and distinct place in your pocket or purse.  We suggest that you turn off your radio and cell phone when you are carrying the Eucharist.  It will give you an opportunity to reflect on the sacredness of your ministry.  Again, the ministry you have undertaken is important.  We sincerely thank you for your help and support of the sick and homebound.
