Pastoral Care Ministry
Holy Spirit Pastoral Care ministers make visits to the elderly and sick members of the community, offering compassionate care, and encouraging a sense of belonging and connection to the Body of Christ through the Eucharist. We are now able to offer in person communion visits for those unable to come to Mass.

For refugees and migrants,
that the tragedy of being uprooted from their homes and lands
may be met with encouragement and welcome
from the Christian community,
realizing that whatever we do on their behalf we do for the Lord.
That our hearts may never be hardened
to those who come to us in their need.
That all newcomers – immigrants, migrants, refugees –
may find in us lasting hospitality to bind up the wounds
of all who suffer.
|
|
|
|
That all people who share life on the earth,
as faithful stewards of its natural resources,
may realize that we are but caretakers of our common home,
God’s gift to us, until we hand it on to the next generation.
For a renewed appreciation of the necessity to renew, reuse
and recycle as a way to preserve the goodness and glory of our planet
so that future generations may inherit a hospitable home
and a thriving environment.
