The clergy will be glad at any time to bring the Holy Communion to your home or to the hospital, when you are ill or otherwise prevented from attending the public services of the Church. The Sacrament brings both spiritual and bodily strength; at times of weakness and distress, churchmen are urged to avail themselves of it. Reception of the sacrament is not only our great privilege, it is also our great responsibility. When it is possible for friends or family to join the service, they should do so. Notice should be given to the priest as to how many will be receiving.
