Through the sharing of Holy Communion, this ministry is the presence of the St. Joseph's community to those who cannot be at Mass including the sick, hospitalized, homebound, seniors in nursing homes, and those being called home to God.
By our baptism, we are all called to be priest, prophet, and king to one another and missioned to care for the sick.Reaching out to those who are ill, at home, or in senior living environments is a priority of our pastoral staff and dedicated parishioners.
"Is anyone among you suffering? They should pray. Is anyone in good spirits? They should sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? They should summon the presbyters of the church and they should pray over them…”(James 5: 13-15)
If you are in need of a pastoral visit, please call the Pastoral Offices. To share your time and gifts as a Minister of Communion to the Sick, contact the office, 585.586.8089. We are very much in need of additional ministers for this very fulfilling area of parish support of our seniors.
Anointing of the Sick, a sacrament of healing, may be received at any time during your illness--please call the Pastoral Offices or email.
