Care Ministries
Care Ministries
Our parish care ministries are comprised of Bereavement Ministry, Funeral Luncheon, C3M (Corpus Christi College Ministry), Homebound Ministry, and Prayer Chain.
Bereavement Ministry
When life brings terrible storms our direction, we may react with anger, fear, depression, sadness, disappointment, and/or disbelief. The object of our grief may be the loss of a loved one, of a job, of a relationship or loss of security. Healthy grief comes to a solution or acceptance, unhealthy grief is unresolved and may appear either as a psychological or physical illness.
