Pastoral Care Questions

Pastoral Care questions and answers

What do I need to have in place for a PC member to bring Holy Communion to me at my home.

Just a small space on a table for the PC minister to lay a small cloth and place the blessed Sacrament, a Crucifix, candle and Holy Water on it.

Can my caregiver (spouse) receive Communion with me?

Often the caregiver is unable to leave the ill person in order to attend Mass. In that case just ask the PC minister to bring an extra Host. 

Can a PC Team Member come for Just a visit? : Definitely

Do I have to be a practicing Catholic to receive a visit from PC?: No

Do I have to be a Catholic for a visit?: No

May I receive the Eucharist more than once a week?: Absolutely. It depends on the availability of the PC team members.
