Bringing Communion to Those in Hospitals and Homes



Eucharistic Ministers of Pastoral Care

​To someone homebound, in a nursing home, or hospitalized and unable to come to church, receiving the Eucharist and maintaining connections with the parish community bring consolation. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are trained in compassionate pastoral care by others who are experienced in doing just that. This corporal work of mercy is a very rewarding ministry of our Church. Most serve once or twice each month, as they are available. The need is always present. Contact information for each area of ministry is provided below.

Nursing Home Masses:

Do you have a few hours to share Friday morning Mass with the residents of Champaign County Nursing Home? Start at 10 a.m., we set up and  bring residents to Mass. Come help bring Church to the residents at CCNH...they enjoy it so much. Volunteer every week, or when your schedule allows.

Here, J.P. Childers, on of our Eucharistic Ministers to Carle Hospital, is stopping by the parish to pick up the pyx, the container in which the ministers transport the consecrated hosts to the people in the hospital, nursing homes, or personal family homes.
