HELLOS, GOOD-BYES
Let's welcome the following people as newly trained and activated members of the Bring Jesus! team: Janie Herrera (St. John the Baptist); Bob Grijalva & Jack Gryebet (St. Mary's Student Parish).
At the same time, we have said good-bye to quite a few people in the 2025-2026 academic year: Charlie Labaj, Carol Littleton, Julianne Armijo, Deacon Dave Taccolini, Lois Brinkman, Nancy Hobbs, Allison Barrick, Patti Dobbs, Claudia Elli, to name a few who were very committed and active.
Our growth is barely keeping pace with our attrition, so please continue how you can encourage others to consider joining our outreach.

TEAM TIPS
I would like to remind everyone again about the option to go out in twos (or even more). Going together is a beautiful way to form relationships with residents and other team members and also to make sure that every date has a backup plan in case of unforeseen cancellations.
Every date on our signup has either "Leader" and "Support Leader" roles or more than one "EMHC" role, so once the first is full, you can simply sign up in the other spots and then connect with the person you'll be serving with.
The Bring Jesus! regional outreach is housed within the Diocese of Lansing under Catholic Charities Washtenaw County (CCWC). Click these links to learn more about the organization and donate specifically to support our Eucharistic ministry (put "Bring Jesus" in the comment box).
Find our Deanery guidelines for Eucharistic ministry, annotated versions and cue cards for the Commuion rites, our team roster, and other documents for use in ministry on this page.

(Only team members cleared to volunteer at the hospitals can serve there. and they receive a private link from the team captain.)
