Eucharistic ministers to the sick are available to bring communion to those in hospitals, nursing homes or confined to their own homes. This applies even if only for a short time such as after a surgery or an injury. A priest can also visit to provide the sacraments of penance and the anointing of the sick.
Otherwise known as viaticum which means "food for the journey" and is the proper sacrament of the dying. Family or friends should ask a minister to the sick or the priest to bring communion to the one who is near death while they are still able and alert enough to receive communion.
