What Is a Burse to the Ailing?
A burse to the ailing is similar to the sick call paten burse but is designed for regular pastoral visits to those who are ill but not in immediate danger of death. It contains the necessary linens and vessels for bringing Communion to the homebound.
Contents
- Pyx for carrying consecrated hosts
- Corporal
- Purificator
- Small crucifix (optional)
Design and Portability
Our burses for the ailing are compact, lightweight, and designed for frequent use. They feature a secure closure to protect the contents during transport.
Pastoral Importance
Bringing Communion to the sick is a vital ministry that connects the homebound to the parish community and the Eucharistic life of the Church.
