The Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound 2011 is the essential resource for Lay Ministers of Care, especially Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.
This portable, annual resource contains all of the official rites a lay minister will need from the Book of Blessings and Pastoral Care of the Sick to bring the Eucharist to and pray with those who cannot regularly worship with their parish community: children, adults, the suffering, the dying, and those who mourn.
The Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound 2011 features among others:
· Communion in Ordinary Circumstances
· List of patron saints for those who are sick and suffering
· Orders for the Blessing of the Sick
· Order for the Blessing of a person suffering from addiction or substance abuse
· Visits to the sick and to a sick child
· Pastoral Care of the Dying.
The Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound 2011 is available in 6” x 9” paperback format with 256 pages.
