| Ministry to the Sick and Shut Ins |
We are a group of men and women, English and Spanish-speaking who come forth from thecommunity to minister to persons who are ill.
Why We Exist: With the aging of our community and the various methods of treatment of diseases, the need for qualified people to serve in the Ministry to the Sick has become more and more essential. The Ministers to the Sick serve many people in our parish who are ill including hospitals, nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities and homebound and shut-ins. We first bring ourselves as a representative from the Community of Resurrection with prayer and when possible with the strength and healing power of the Holy Eucharist.When and Where we Meet:Our Ministry takes place wherever the sick Person is at the time.This Ministry has been a part of the Catholic Church since its institution by Christ over 2,000 years ago. Every month our ministers make between150 and 200 visits to Catholic people in one hospital, five nursing facilities, two assisted living homes, and many visits to the home-bound and shut-ins throughout the Winter Garden/Ocoee area. Some are Resurrection parishioners but many come from other Catholic ChurchesHow the ministry worksFirst and foremost we pay a pastoral visit to the person. This includes praying together, friendly conversation and when appropriate, Holy Communion. We also alert the Pastor when the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick or Reconciliation is requested.
