The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist. Those who receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ should be in a state of grace and in communion with the Catholic Church. The Eucharist is distributed by the Priest, Deacon, or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (EMHC) at every Mass. EMHCs may also bring Communion to those unable to attend Mass. Holy Eucharist for the Sick and Homebound To have Communion brought to you at home or in the hospital, contact admin-asst@ascensionboca.org or call the parish office at (561) 997-5486. If you are interested in becoming an EMHC, visit the Liturgical Ministries page for more information.
