Ministry to the Sick and Homebound

Jesus spent much of his time on Earth ministering to and comforting people struggling with illness or injury. Here at St. Kieran, we follow in his footsteps by reaching out to the sick and injured in two ways: (1) anointing those who are ill and (2) bringing the Eucharist to people who are homebound, in nursing homes, or in the hospital. 

Celebrating the Eucharist is at the very heart of our faith. However, because of illness or injury, many of our fellow Catholics in our area cannot join in the celebration. To ensure that these community members stay connected to us, St. Kieran sponsors the Eucharistic Ministry to the Sick through which Eucharistic ministers bring communion to individual homes, These volunteers are a wonderful volunteers that work quietly, diligently, and lovingly to bring our Lord to those who could not otherwise receive communion.

If you or someone you know would like an anointing or receive the Eucharist, please call 586-781-4901.
