Bring Jesus!
Volunteers from parishes all over Washtenaw County participate in a regional outreach to the sick and isolated in care and correctional facilities around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. They bring Holy Communion, Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, to Catholics who cannot attend Mass. They also bring Jesus through prayer, through sharing the Word of God, and through their own attentive and compassionate presence. In doing so, they enable our brothers and sisters to maintain their connection to the local Catholic community. Our volunteers lead or assist with Communion services and visit individuals in their rooms.
Catholic Charities Washtenaw County supports the Ann Arbor Deanery in this apostolate by providing ministry coordination and training. Contact Michelle Kazanjian at 734-971-9781 ext. 338 or mkazanjian@ccwcwashtenaw.org for more information.

Volunteer
Serving on the Eucharistic Outreach team is simple, beautiful, and powerful. Volunteers must be Catholics who are members in good standing at a parish and who have received their Sacraments of Initiation.
We provide the necessary training and help volunteers find the right match for their interests, gifts, and availability.
