Attention Eucharistic Ministers, a reminder for these important policy changes, which were covered during the trainings. Effective immediately: anyone bringing the Blessed Sacrament to the homebound or nursing homes must present their pyx prior to Mass and retrieve when they are called forward after communion. We will no longer place hosts in a pyx in the communion line. Everyone bringing communion to the homebound or to nursing homes must, following diocesan policy, have a background check, take part in a Protecting God’s Children program and be current on the monthly VIRTUS training. We must all do what we can to ensure our children and vulnerable adults are safe and that proper reverence is shown to the Blessed Sacrament. If you need to be commissioned as Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister, please contact Ashley Buxton at the parish office.
