Mission Statement
This special ministry consists of a small number of devoted
parishioners who are dedicated to assist the Pastor in visiting
the sick and housebound once a week. The ministry also provides
transportation to those who need it. While visiting the sick,
the Eucharistic Ministers along with their Pastor provide
spiritual and emotional support through the Sacraments and
prayers.
The members of this precious ministry provide also a day of
fellowship for all senior citizens in our Parish Community every
other month. Many wonderful events fill up this day such as:
Holy Mass, reception in the St. John Paul II Center that
includes hot meal, a
delicious cake, bingo with prizes and entertainments.
Transportation is provided to those who need it.
The Pastor or the Parish Office should be informed when any
parishioner is sick or housebound so that a pastoral visitation
by the Special Ministers could be arranged.
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ,
you cured the bodies, nursed the souls and healed the hearts of
all the sick who came to you in faith.
Strengthen all our Parishioners who are sick, housebound or in
Nursing Home. Give them patience, hope, determination,
compassion, and the grace of consolation and healing.
Amen.
