HOLY COMMUNION FOR THOSE SICK AT HOME
The parish has a team of
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, who are all commissioned by the
Archbishop and DBS checked. Their ministry is to take the Sacrament of Holy
Communion to people who are long-term sick or disabled, and who are thus unable
to get to Mass. If you know of anyone in this category who is not currently
receiving the Sacrament at home (or where they are living), please inform Fr Alex Saba via the
Parish Office on 01303 252823 or email folkestone@rcaos.org.uk
HOLY
COMMUNION FOR THOSE IN HOSPITAL
People who are seriously ill or
undergoing operations may ask for the
Anointing of the Sick. Those who are going into hospital should remember to ask
for a visit from the hospital’s Catholic Chaplain: they will arrange for a Catholic
minister or an extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion to bring them Holy Communion, or - if anointing is required - for a
priest to visit (but, hopefully, you will have already asked for anointing
before you go in). Catholic chaplains are often clergy or laypeople from the
hospital’s local parish. Contact the parish office 01303 252823 or email folkestone@rcaos.org.uk
