The Home Ministry serves parishioners who are homebound, as well as residents of assisted living and Alzheimer’s care facilities.
Our ministry supports individuals in a variety of circumstances. Some visits are short-term, such as during recovery from surgery, illness, or pregnancy. In other cases, our ministers bring Holy Communion and provide ongoing pastoral care to those living with long-term or chronic illness.
We also serve elderly parishioners by bringing the presence of the Lord to them where they live, often for extended periods of time. It is an honor and a privilege to walk alongside those we serve, forming meaningful relationships rooted in compassion, faith, and love. They truly become a part of our lives.
Our hospital ministers are a dedicated group of Extraordinary Ministers of the Holy Eucharist who visit and bring Holy Communion to Catholic patients in the Plano hospitals. At a time when people are often most vulnerable, hospital ministers have the opportunity to bring comfort and a personal connection to our faith community, as well as the great gift of the Eucharist.
We visit the Medical City of Plano daily and the Baylor Plano Regional Hospitals twice weekly.
Our active Nursing Home Ministry at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish offers several opportunities for you to share your time and to serve our brothers and sisters in the community. By bringing the Eucharist to the nursing homes, the residents are able to stay connected to the Catholic community and to continue their reception of Holy Communion on a regular basis.
We currently visit several nursing homes in Plano on various days of the week.
