Please contact Fr. Joe Sileo in the Rectory Office at 301-229-7933 if you wish to serve in this ministry. Please notify the Rectory Office if you know of any parishioner who is sick or homebound so that we can bring them the Eucharist or the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick at 301-229-7933

When someone in your family, or a close friend or neighbor, is no longer able to come to Mass, a St. Bart's volunteer is available to bring the Holy Eucharist to a parishioner's home; and priests are ready to come to hear confessions and give the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

Someone need only contact the church office so they can make the necessary arrangements. An Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion will then schedule a convenient day and time to administer to the needs of the infirm.

If you have a special calling to offer pastoral care to the sick and homebound, this Ministry is a way to respond. Currently we have several Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion who participate in this ministry. Some visit a parishioner for a short period of time while others may assist for an extended period.
