Communion to sick & shut-ins - This Ministry consists of a group of Eucharistic Ministers visiting the hospital every weekend to give Holy Communion to all the Roman Catholic patients. They also visit the home bound.

Each week they gather for practice and share their gifts. They join other choirs at special times of celebration at Fort St. John community events.
