Pastoral Care
Healing, Outreach, Advocacy
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…”

Guardian Angel Financial Assistance Ministry
“...You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:39
At any point, each of us may need the help of a "Guardian Angel. The Guardian Angel Fund was created to assist parishioners as well as members of the local community with one-time financial needs, such as utilities, a portion of rent, and some medical expenses. 100% of Guardian Angel funds go toward these and similar forms of help to those in need.
In addition to funds, volunteers are needed to review assistance requests under the supervision of parish staff. Experience in social work and/or counseling is helpful for this ministry. Serve as a “Guardian Angel” and encounter the face of Christ in the people this ministry serves.
