Prayer of Spiritual Communion: My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The following is from Bishop Guglielmone:"It is up to each pastor to determine if he or an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (EMHC) can return to providing communion to those who are shut-in at home. If you choose to resume this, you or the EMHC must wear a mask during the visit, and take all sanitary precautions before and after. Additionally, it is encouraged that no one enter the house, that communion is distributed at the door or an available outside space, and that the communicant receive in the hand, if possible."
In accord with the Bishop's directives Father Dennis has decided as pastor to return to providing communion to the sick and homebound. We are presently contacting our EMHCs and whether they are able to return to this Ministry.
Parish meeting rooms are available. Rooms must be reserved through Pat Moore at the parish office. Please email her at parish.life@ollchapin.org.
