St. Malachy offers communion and the Mass to the homebound. Families with a homebound loved one are encouraged to bring the Eucharist home to them using a pyx. In addition to the Eucharist, we encourage you to watch our Live Stream masses to fully engage with the weekend liturgy. These masses can be watched Live or On-Demand and are archived under our Media tab.
As Catholics, we believe that the body, blood, soul, and divinity is present in the Eucharist. Therefore great care must be taken when bringing Christ to our loved ones. The proper container for carrying the Blessed Sacrament is called a pyx. These are available for loan in the sacristy, ask an usher for assistance. You may also purchase a pyx at a Catholic supply store. When you have a pyx, please bring it with you as you receive communion and present it to the Eucharistic Minister and they will place the Blessed Sacrament into the pyx.
If you are unable to attend mass don’t hesitate to reach out – we have Eucharistic Ministers that will bring the Eucharist to your loved one.
