Pastoral care of Catholics in hospitals and other healthcare facilities is the responsibil-

ity of the parish in whose boundaries the facility is located. Although many of the

Emory Healthcare campuses are in our parish, for many years Monsignor Frank

Giusta was employed by Emory as the full-time Catholic chaplain there. Since

Monsignor Giusta’s death earlier this year, that ministry once again falls to us at IHM.

In addition to our clergy, we have a very dedicated cadre of Extraordinary Ministers

of Holy Communion who bring the Sacrament to patients in healthcare facilities, resi-

dents in personal care homes and the homebound. You often see them receiving the

Blessed Sacrament at the foot of the altar at the end of Mass. Yet the need for pastoral

care of the sick now exceeds the resources of these very dedicated volunteers.

If you are presently an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion and you

assist only at our daily and Sunday Masses, please consider whether you might also

be willing and able to bring Holy Communion to the sick from time to time. If you are

willing and able, please contact Jeanette Dohnal at 678-399-3584 or

jayteedee75@att.net or Jeff Bush at jbush@ihmatlanta.org for more information.

If you are not presently an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, and you

would like more information about this ministry, please see the information sheets in

the literature rack in the narthex or on our parish website.

Talley as our guest of honor and speaker. To

accommodate his schedule, we have changed the

meeting to Wednesday, October 5 at 6:30 p.m. in the

Historic Church. We will have the space to
