Sodality members tend to the spiritual needs of the sick and homebound by bringing them Holy Communion on a weekly basis. They meet on the second Saturday of each month at 8:15am in room 8 of Rosary Hall for a short meeting prayer for the sick and homebound. Mass follows at 9:00 am for the intentions of the sick. For the protection and safety of those they serve, members will need to be fingerprinted, receive a background check, and attend safe environment training for vulnerable adults prior to bringing Holy Communion to the homebound.
