Ministry of Care

The Ministry of Care provides outreach and pastoral support to members of the parish community who are unable to participate in liturgies in person.

The volunteers of this ministry bring Holy Communion to residents in local retirement and long term care residences. This is done in through group setting Communion Services as well as individual visits with residents who are unable to attend a larger gathering. These visits not only provide residents with an opportunity to share in the Eucharist, but to connect with members of their faith community in a pastoral and caring way.

This ministry is expanding to offer communion visits to those who are homebound and unable to attend mass in person. This provides another level of support to those in our parish community.

Volunteers Needed

This ministry requires a number of volunteers to meet the increasing needs within the community and the involement of our parishioners is necessary to sustain it.

The volunteer work is exceptionally rewarding and does not require extensive knowledge of the faith, but rather a love of Christ and a desire to serve others. Formation and ongoing support is provided and volunteer schedules are very flexible.

Please consider learning more about this ministry and how you can contribute your time and talent to help those who benefit from the love and support of the parish community. For more information contact our parish Pastoral Minister, Arden Ouellette or call the office, 905-332-5115.
