The USCCB's document on The Ministry of Pastoral Care states that "pastoral care is a compassionate presence in imitation of Jesus' care of people, especially those who were hurting and in need. ... Pastoral care is most fundamentally a relationship—a ministry of compassionate presence. This was Jesus' caring stance toward all people, especially those who were hurting or in need. Pastoral care enables healing and growth to take place within individuals and their relationships. It nurtures growth toward wholeness, and provides guidance in decision-making, and challenges obstacles to positive development."
At Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church we strive to put the loving heart of Jesus in action in our Pastoral Care Ministries. We want to demonstrate a dedication to human dignity, appreciation for individual differences, a dedication to justice, and mercy through an incarnation of love and hope. We pray that should you find your self, a family member or another to be in need of our attentions to please check out the various ministries in our Healing Ministries or our Outreach & Advocacy Ministries.

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’ " Matthew 25: 35-40
