    Christ
has no body now on earth but yours.
no hands but yours, no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which Christ's
compassion is to look out to the world.
Yours are the feet with which Christ is to go
about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which Christ is
to bless all people now.
                                 Teresa of Avila

 

The Nursing Home Visitation Ministry is comprised of four teams that provide Holy Communion weekly to the residents of the Dyer Nursing and Rehabilitation Home. The respective teams meet the first, second and fourth Friday of the month, and on the third Saturday of the month. Each First Friday of the month, the Liturgy is celebrated in the theater for any resident who wishes to participate. Additionally, one of our longest standing team members, Mike Domasica, leads the Rosary every Monday evening.   Some of the members have helped distribute ashes on Ash Wednesday and have helped with a Good Friday service.

This ministry provides not only Holy Communion, but also the opportunity to reach out to those who are m, those in need of a warming smile and a gentle touch, and often merely a little companionship. It is a uniquely fulfilling and uplifting experience for all of its members.
