items that may be needed
A briefcase to carry the following items:
White stole (for the priest or deacon)
Another white stole (if the sick person is a priest)
Holy water sprinkler
Ritual, or card with prayers
Crucifix
Purificator
Check with the priest on what is needed; in some cases (e.g. Communion in a hospital), the requirements differ. Priest usually does not wear surplice during the trip but a narrow white stole, under his suit coat.
GREETING
All make the sign of the cross. The minister of communion speaks the following or a similar greeting:
℣. Peace be with this house and with all who live here.
All respond:
℟. And also with you.
