Hospital Visitors Schedule for August & September

Dear friends,  It is hard to believe it is September. I am sure you are like me and ready for some cool days. I hope our new team member, Sandra, enjoyed her first month. I was hoping we would have more join us but we just need to keep praying. Since the office will be closed on Monday Pam you are welcome to come to the chapel at the school for your Host. We will close from 8:10 -9:30 for Mass at Holy Family. This is the week the Bishop will visit the students. Monday the office and school are both closed so Lisa you will need to go to the church early while the cleaning crew is there. 

Reminders:  Please take some bulletins with you. Gene Marie Mount will be in rehab on the second floor for some time. She will not be on the list since they are not part of Memorial. She loves to receive the Eucharist since she is used to going to daily Mass.

Thank you again for all you do. Have a safe and restful Labor day weekend.

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.

The following memo was sent out to all EMs:

Will you please send out a reminder to all of the EM's that once communion is finished and they have placed the vessels on the table they should stand down by the steps and WAIT for the priest to put the host in the tabernacle and bow.  Then they bow and return to their seats.

Any questions please let me know.

Thanks,

Beverly
