Lay Eucharistic Visitors (LEVS)

A Lay Eucharistic Visitor is an individual licensed by the diocese to distribute previously blessed elements of Holy Communion to persons unable to attend regular worship, such as shut-ins or people recovering from illness in hospitals. The bread and wine they carry act as a symbol of the unity of Christ’s Body, which transcends boundaries of time and space, providing a sense of connection to persons who might otherwise feel isolated.

Deacon:    We, the church of Jesus Christ, send you forth bearing these holy gifts so that others may share with us in the communion of Christ’s body and blood.

People:      We who are many, are one body because we all share one bread, one cup. Amen.
