Pastoral Care - Outreach
What is Pastoral Care?
We care for our senior citizens, the sick, the homebound, nursing home patients, homeless families, and those in need of counseling; and we promote the respect of life.
Our Mission: To minister to those in our parish community who are in need of help. We encourage and enhance economic, spiritual, and personal development, where our volunteers promote spiritual wellness and the love of Jesus Christ to others.
