A person who is ill at home, in the hospital or in a nursing home can still receive Holy Communion. Call the Holy Guardian Parish Office at (708)485-2900 or Deacon Dave Brencic at (708) 485-6614 to schedule a visit. Ministers of Care also regularly bring Communion to LaGrange Hospital, The Grove, and Cantata.
Dedicated volunteers share the responsibility of maintaining the sacristy. Their duties include: light housekeeping, laundering of altar linens, decorating and cleaning for special Holy Days, maintaining the holy water fonts, sewing Baptismal robes, and preparing the Sanctuary for weddings, funerals, and baptisms. The Sacristy Chairperson is responsible for securing volunteers, coordinating work and time schedules, keeping current inventory of altar supplies, checking vestments for cleaning and repair. Volunteers are always needed and are most welcome.
“One God, many gifts.” A similar phrase describes the Art and Environment Committee - “One destination, many roads.” We have all been blessed with a variety of wonderful gifts, among these are our senses and our minds. Uniting the latter in a total experience of the Eucharistic Celebration is the ongoing purpose of this Committee. By working to enrich the celebration in this way, we hope to encourage the use of our God-given gifts to return thanks and praise to God.
Ministers of Care visit, pray with and bring our Lord in the Holy Eucharist to parishioners who are home bound.
They visit the sick and bring the Holy Eucharist to patients in area institutions.
They minister weekly at The Grove of La Grange Park, the Cantata Adult Life Services in Brookfield and the Amita La Grange Memorial Hospital.
At Amita La Grange Memorial Hospital, the Ministers of Care visit all Catholics several times during the month.
A 12-hour training course is required after which the Minister of Care is mandated. Contact Deacon Dave Brencic at (708) 485-2900 for further information.
