The Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound 2016 is the essential resource for lay Ministers of Care, especially Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. This portable, annual resource contains all of the official rites a lay minister will need from the Book of Blessings and Pastoral Care of the Sick to bring the Eucharist to and pray with those who cannot regularly worship with their parish community: children, adults, the suffering, the dying, and those who mourn.
