Pastoral Care Ministry
The Pastoral Care Ministry at St. Mark’s is responsible for providing and organizing:
The Pastoral Care Coordinator works with Father Ed to determine how best to respond to requests from parishioners and/or their families for services and to seek out those who might benefit from our help but are unaware of what is available. This past year Father Ed and our Eucharistic Visitors took communion either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly to parishioners experiencing hospitalizations or short/long term confinement to home or nursing facilities. We assisted with two collations and took meals to several families for anywhere from 3 days to several weeks. Also, Elizabeth Olson sent cards to parishioners throughout the year.
My sincerest thanks to the many, many parishioners who support pastoral care by responding immediately whenever, wherever and for however long there is a need.
- Eucharistic Visitors who are trained to bring Communion to homes, hospitals and nursing care facilities
- Meals for parishioners during health or family emergencies
- Help with collations after parishioner’ funerals or memorial services
- Cards to celebrate the joys and acknowledge the sorrows of life
