For What It's Worth by Erin

“And when the president has given thanks, and all the people have expressed their assent, those who are called by us deacons give to each of those present to partake of the bread and wine mixed with water over which the thanksgiving was pronounced, and to those who are absent they carry away a portion.”

—St. Justin, Martyr

 
Did you know? Since the second century and time of St. Justin, Catholics have been bringing Eucharist to any sick person who was unable to get to Mass. We know that what (Who) we receive is so important, that we take the time to bring Him to those unable to get to Mass themselves.

At Holy Trinity, we have 25 individuals on our Homebound list that we bring communion to each week. In addition, we serve the two Memory Care Facilities in Beaverton as well as The Springs at Tanasbourne. This pastoral care is available when any parishioner is unable to join us at Mass due to illness or injury. We have faithful Homebound Ministers who do this, and we also assist families to provide this for the members of their family should they wish to provide this service for their loved ones.

Does anyone you know need to be on our Homebound list? Or do you wish to learn how to be a Homebound Minister? Email me. I can help you!
