HOME COMMUNION!

Can’t drive yourself to church anymore? Then let us bring church to you! Our parish’s trained Eucharistic Visitors, licensed by our Diocese of Florida, can bring the eucharist — the sacrament that bonds us to Christ Jesus and each other as one body (1 Corinthians 10:16-17) — to you so that you can commune with us at home. Contact Parish Administrator Cathie Whitney at 352 372 4721 or office@holytrinitygnv.org to schedule.
