Sacrament of the Sick

General Information

Please call the Rectory at any time for a Priest to visit someone who is ill. If surgery or admission to the hospital is scheduled, please call the Rectory to arrange for the Sacrament of the Sick to be administered before admission or surgery. Upon admission to the hospital, please be sure you are identified on hospital records as a Catholic to be assured of visits by the Catholic chaplains. Without being notified as to the status (or hospital room number) of a sick relative or parishioner, the Priests and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion will not know to visit. Please keep us informed!

Home Visits

Please contact Sr. Mary Barrar, SSJ at the Rectory Office, 610-356-1613 if a parishioner would like to receive Holy Communion at home. If a parishioner is unable to attend Mass due to age or illness please contact (or have a family member contact) Sister Mary and she will arrange for an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist to bring Holy Communion to the parishioner on a regular basis. We encourage you (or a family member) to update Sister Mary with any changes to your status.

Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Facility Visits

If a parishioner becomes a permanent or temporary resident at a nursing home or rehabilitation facility, we encourage you (or a family member) to contact the Rectory.

We regularly visit the following facilities to celebrate Mass:
Broomall Rehab (Malin Road) on the second Thursday of each month.

Dunwoody Village (West Chester Pike) on the first Wednesday of each month.

Broomall Presbyterian Village (Marple Road) on the third Friday of each month.

Sunrise of Newtown Square (South Newtown Street Road / Rt. 252) on the fourth Friday of each month.
