Eucharistic Ministers Parnassus - UCSF Parnassus

Description

Eucharistic Ministry Volunteers visit Roman Catholic patients in the hospital daily and distribute Holy Communion, offer prayers, and give comfort in accordance with the Church's ritual practices and in collaboration with UCSF Health's Department of Spiritual Care Services. People who are interested in this role must have received the rite of confirmation and be in full union with the Roman Catholic Church; they must be commissioned Eucharistic Ministers by their own parish; they must undergo training to serve as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion; and they must present a recommendation letter to UCSF from the priest at their home parish attesting to these requirements. Opportunities are available every day of the week at both Parnassus and Mission Bay hospitals, and volunteers who can commit to a regular weekly shift would be particularly appreciated.
