Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the Sick and Homebound

This is a liturgical ministry since the Ministers of Holy Communion are sent forth from Mass to bring the Eucharist to those who cannot join us for Mass. To be a Minister of Holy Communion, one must be a Roman Catholic who has received the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. If married, one must have received the Sacrament be Marriage in the Catholic Church. Training is conducted periodically at the parish. Ministers of Holy Communion must receive delegation by the Bishop to serve at the parish.These ministers bring the Eucharist to the sick and homebound in the Hospitals, convalescant homes and parishoner's homes.

If you are interested in serving in this ministry, please contact our Liturgy Coordinator at ext. 41 or email by clicking here.

Peace and Justice Ministry

"If you want peace, work for justice"  Pope Paul VI  

The Peace and Justice Ministry promotes the education and awareness of all Catholics in areas of social justice. We seek to understand the Church's teaching in areas such as poverty, health care reform, immigration, prison reform, the death penalty, environmental issues, solidarity, human trafficking and end of life issues. We hope to enhance, through presentations, activities and information rooted in Catholic theology, the already active social ministry of our parish.  Information and awareness are vital tools to bring along with us on our daily journey as Catholics whether it be at school, at work, at home or in the voting booth.

For more information, please contact Dale Jiminez at (714)536-3830 or by email.
