Pastoral Care Ministry at St. Andrew's

 

The faithful who are ill are deprived of their rightful and accustomed place in the Eucharistic community.  The Pastoral Care Minister represents Christ by bringing Holy Communion and sacred scripture to the sick, and in so doing, reflects the love and support of the Eucharistic community of St. Andrew’s Catholic Church.
The Pastoral Care Ministry to the Sick is carried out by a Priest, Deacon, and lay pastoral care ministers.

The Pastoral Care Ministry at St. Andrew's is an outreach to those who are:

• Home Bound
• In Nursing Homes or Assisted Living Facilities
• Hospitalized
• In Rehabilitation
• Grieving the loss of a loved one through the Bereavement Ministry
• Or In Any Special Need or Circumstance

PLEASE SEE THE LIST BELOW IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE IS IN NEED OF PASTORAL CARE
