PASTORAL CARE
Individuals who lovingly and prayerfully deliver the Eucharist to community members who are unable to attend Mass or visit community members in their home or nursing home to share companionship. Help at local nursing homes with a prayer service or lead a rosary. A commitment of a one-year minimum is suggested. Training is provided and annual refresher meetings are provided to support all members.
Note: If the parishioner requires a priest to administer the Sacraments of Reconciliation (Confession) or the Anointing of the Sick (Extreme Unction), please call the parish office at (651) 982-2200 to schedule a visit.
