PASTORAL CARE

Pastoral Care for the sick and infirm is one of the most significant ways that we continue the ministry and mission of Jesus. Understood in the broad sense of "helping others," pastoral ministry is the responsibility of all Christians.

​

Lay volunteers are called to serve and support in the spiritual care of the frail and housebound as well as the sick and shut-ins and the hospitalized. Many parishioners live in assisted living and other communities where the Eucharist needs to be brought to them.

​

The needs of parishioners are varied, as is life itself. In times of bereavement, loss, unexpected changes, sickness, the hungry, the homeless, employment changes…. the list of needs goes on. These individuals, as part of our parish family, need and expect the care, support, and love that we have to offer.
