"The Poor and the sick are the heart of God. In serving them, we serve Jesus Christ".
St. Camillus de Lellis
Mission: Lay Ministers of the Eucharist visit the community of St. Mildred who are unable or temporarily unable to attend Mass and/or receive the Sacraments. In addition to taking communion to the "homebound," the ministers keep our priest updated on all their Sacramental needs.
Vision: We visit those who cannot join the St. Mildred community for weekly worship and "the life of the church" by sharing information about Parish activities and services.
Goals: We hold meetings when information and procedures change. The St. Camillus Ministry Logbook records visits and any sacramental needs brought to the coordinator's attention, who informs the Parish Priest. We hope those in our Parish community who cannot participate feel that they are not forgotten.
Values: "We are the people of God serving the reign of God" (St. Mildred's motto)
