Ministers of care are commissioned by the Church to bring the compassion of Christ and the sacraments and blessings of the liturgy to the sick, homebound, and isolated. All lay ministers who provide this care will benefit from the contents of these two essential guides for this ministry.

Included in The Catholic Handbook for Visiting the Sick and Homebound 2025. are the official rites from the Book of Blessings and Pastoral Care of the Sick: Rites of Anointing and Viaticum. Handbook for Ministers of Care provides a theology of sickness and suffering as well as practical guidance on how to carry out this ministry and care for their own spiritual needs while caring for others.
