Ministers of Care at Ascension and St. Edmund Parish are commissioned by the Archdiocese of Chicago to visit, bring Eucharist and share faith with the sick and homebound in senior residences, nursing homes, hospitals, and in parishioners' homes. Forty to fifty individuals are ministered to on a weekly basis. As part of a parish team, the ministers coordinate a weekend in October when the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is celebrated at all Masses, and an All Souls' Prayer Service in November where we remember all who have died in the past year.
Contact one of the following people to learn more about how to become a Minister of Care or to request for someone to visit a sick parishioner, a homebound family member or a Catholic neighbor.
