Homebound ministry
Ave Maria Parish priests frequently visit Catholic patients in hospitals to administer the Anointing of the Sick and attend to a person in imminent danger of death, who needs the sacraments. Deacons and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion assist in a most special way by bringing Communion to the sick and homebound of our parish. In addition, our priests will also make themselves available to hear Confessions. If you would like to schedule a visit for yourself or someone you know, please reach out to the parish office or email Deacon Paul Sparrow at paul.s(at)avemariaparish.org
