A ministry based solely on the desire to be a companion to one who needs a friend. This ministry provides a caring, human connection between isolated members of our community.  These ministers may choose to become Eucharistic ministers to the home bound as well, but it is not required.  This ministry calls for a compassionate, listening heart.
