EUCHARISTIC MINISTRY TO OUR HOMEBOUND BROTHERS & SISTERS

Marianites

MARIANITES LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS

The MARIANITES of Annunciation are giving our parishioners, both men & women, an opportunity to “come and see” and experience. Join them in ministering to the sick and elderly homebound and nursing home residents by visiting and bringing them Holy Communion on Monday mornings. The MARIANITES gather in Saint Francis Hall, usually after the 8:30 AM Mass, for prayers and a meeting and then proceed to their ministry. Come, see for yourself, and then decide if this is the Ministry to which the Lord is calling you.

Sunday Eucharistic Ministers to the Homebound
