My home units are two special units for persons with late-stage AIDS and for persons receiving intensive physical, psychological or speech therapy, following patients when they are transferred to other units. I spend two days a week visiting patients in 8 or 9 units, offering communion and anointing, and celebrate Mass once a month. {Typically I visit about 100 patients per day, giving communion to about 15 and anointing about 30-35. We have 14-16 persons at Mass. } I also provide Bibles, rosaries and weekly office lectionary lists as a guide to Bible reading and provide last rites to the dying. In addition, I visit patients who have moved to other facilities to provide continuity in their lives."
