This ministry provides a handmade garment which is given to a newly baptized baby.  The garment symbolizes the new life of the Holy Spirit given in Baptism and welcomes the newly baptized child into the church family.

The bereavement ministry lends support to family members in times of need immediately after the loss of a loved one with prayer for the mourners at the wake of the deceased.

Ministers of Care are needed to take the Eucharist to those who cannot leave their home or the hospital.  Mandatory training sessions offer insight into the manner and procedures needed to exercise in individual circumstances.

Crafters knit or crochet shawls to be given to anyone in a time of illness, sorrow, transition, challenge and joyous occasions in life. The crafter begins each shawl with prayers and blessings. Prayers are continued throughout the creation.When complete, the shawl is offered as a final blessing before being sent on its way.

The committee after receiving a request for assistance, makes the necessary inquiries, directs the needy to the appropriate community agencies, and then helps with immediate needs as resources permit. Collections are taken throughout the year to support this cause.

The food pantry provides food assistance to parishioners and those around the community. The food pantry is open every Saturday, 9 am - 11 am in the lower level of the Chapel. For more information click on Food Pantry.
