Pastoral Care

Homebound parishioners and others who need a special touch receive regular visits, flowers, cards, and seasonal remembrances from the clergy and other parishioners. Our team of Lay Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs) also take communion to those who are homebound or in the hospital weekly.

Above all else, pastoral care is about being a holy presence with those who are, for many reasons, away from the church. Pastoral care ministers bear God’s love with others when they write cards, deliver flowers, and share communion.

If you have pastoral care needs, prayer requests, or if you would like to take part in the pastoral care ministries of the church, please contact Pastoral Care.

If you have a pastoral care emergency, please call the church to obtain the name and number of the priest on call.
